Therapeutic Parenting Assessments for Informed and Compassionate Decision-Making

At Flourish Family Assessments, we provide trauma-informed, evidence-based parenting assessments in a safe, supportive environment. Our goal is to help families grow, understand their strengths, and make lasting change—so professionals can make clear, child-focused decisions with confidence and care.

Structured, Evidence-Based Parenting Assessments Tailored to Every Family

Our parenting assessments are designed to support families while meeting the highest standards of child safeguarding and professional integrity.

We offer both residential and community-based assessments, rooted in therapeutic practice and built around each family’s unique needs.

Assessments typically span 12 weeks and follow a clear, phased structure—from initial observation to supported learning and finally independent care.

Throughout the process, our trained social workers and therapeutic staff provide compassionate guidance, ensuring parents are given every opportunity to demonstrate their capacity to provide safe, consistent care.

We work closely with Local Authorities, Guardians, and the courts, producing fair, robust, and child-centred reports that inform important decisions about a child's future. Whether the assessment is standard, therapeutic, or adapted using the ParentAssess model, our approach remains the same: respectful, transparent, and focused on the best interests of the child.

Safe Spaces

Our homes are therapeutic throughout, with safety and comfort being our top priorities.

Child Focused

Every decision we make is to prioritise the wellbeing of the child.

What to Expect During an Assessment

Every assessment at Flourish is structured, transparent, and supportive. From day one, families are guided through a clear process that includes daily observations, one-to-one sessions, and practical parenting tasks. We work in phases, gradually reducing support to help parents show their capabilities with growing independence—always with the child’s safety and wellbeing at the centre.

Phase-Based Support: Assessments progress through observation, guided learning, and independent parenting.

Personalised Approach: Each plan is tailored to the family's needs, learning style, and background.

Clear Communication: Families receive regular feedback, updates, and opportunities to reflect and respond.
