CF Social Work are immensely proud to announce that despite the added pressure of Covid19 and two very difficult lock downs, we managed to achieve our CQC Registration in October 2020.

This now allows us to open up our service to Children and Young People with Disabilities, Mental Health and significant Additional Needs.

Whilst our service is predominantly East Anglia based, we are extremely active in Essex, Hertfordshire and London Boroughs. Our CQC Senior Manager, Nina Livermore and Senior Family Support and Youth Mentoring Team Leader Clara French, head up this service and both have a long history of working in this very specialist area.

To refer to this service or to apply for a position in the team call Clara on 01473 724794 or email clara@cfsocialwork.co.uk.

Our Clients

Thank you CF Education for everything you have done for my daughter – you have supported her for 2 years and she is now sitting her mocks to get her final GCSE grades

parent

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you and your (Social Work Assistant) staff for supporting Southend Borough Council with this task and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Mum has come so far and this is an excellent example of preventing a child coming into care by using alternative models of intervention. Please thank all of your staff for me.

Family Assessment and Safeguarding Team - Team Manager

We would like to thank you SWA for her commitment to this family and for her professionalism. I also know that mum was very apprehensive when this service started, but mum has talked very positively about your SWA and has not felt judged by her.

I want to thank you and the team at CF Social work for the consistency, hard work and professionalism you showed in supporting the young person gain regular supervised contact with her family members, despite her being many miles away from them. It was so valuable to the young person’s first experience in the care system that she was supported by yourself and the contact workers to have regular, consistent and positive interaction with her parents and extended family members. The community contacts allowed the family to make new positive memories together and they all commented on how friendly, approachable and professional the contact workers were. I would highly recommend your organisation to any colleagues or other professionals needing contact support in the Suffolk area. I know the young person is also very thankful for your support. Many Thanks

Catrin - Bracknell-Forest LA

Thanks for all of your help and the workers insight into this case. I know it has been a challenging and worrying few days, but it does sound like mum is starting to trust your workers and that we have a clear picture of what homelife is like for her and baby S and that is what we needed. Thanks

Social Worker Norfolk Local Authority

Your evidence was compelling and enhanced the Local Authority’s case greatly. Counsel has commented on how well you presented your evidence. Well done and thank you. We are much obliged and I look forward to working with you again.

Solicitor - Essex County Council Essex Legal Services

We have commissioned CF Social Work over a number of years to undertake a variety of assessments. Without exception these have always been to a high standard and value for money . They have always provided reports on time even when at times the timeframe was pretty tight. From my experience I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

In Hackney we have commissioned CF Social Work Ltd to undertake various court and specialist assessments. Throughout our involvement I have always found them to be responsive and highly professional in their approach.....Their work has consistently been of a high standard, they are reliable and on no occasion did they fail to meet any set timescales.
