How the practice works
Four principles guide every assessment and coordination engagement.
- 01
The best interests of the child
Every assessment and coordination intervention is framed around the welfare and developmental interests of the children involved.
- 02
Independence
Work is conducted on instruction, without alignment to any party. Findings sit on the evidence.
- 03
Structural rigour
Each piece of work follows a defined methodology, with documented reasoning that holds up to examination.
- 04
Clear professional roles
The boundaries of each engagement are stated at the outset and maintained throughout.
Next step
