Immigration Social Work Services Ltd
Our vision is of a world where separated migrant children and young people receive high quality, expert assessments and support from the moment they arrive in the UK.
We recognise that Local Authorities are under immense pressure throughout Children and Young People’s Services, and we understand how complicated it can be to navigate an immigration and asylum system alongside their Looked After Children statutory responsibilities.
We’re here to help. With over 20 years of experience in social work, we are committed to supporting Local Authorities to provide exemplary care for the young people they are responsible for.
Immigration Social Work Services, led by Jo Schofield, recognised the need for high quality, specialist training and consultancy services to support the existing work of Local Authorities, Independent Social Workers and Law Firms in this field.
Having previously worked at both Central and Local Government level, as well as front line practitioners in the field, we are experts in supporting professionals and agencies to employ best practice standards, using up to date case law, legislation, research and policy.
Our highly experienced team delivers industry leading specialist training, for all professionals working in the immigration social care field.
Our unique practical skills, grassroots experience and strong reputation in the field, bridge the gap between practical experience and policy-level expertise, supporting staff to enhance their practice.
