About Springboard Services

I have a humane approach to supporting vulnerable families in socially complex circumstances and protecting children at high risk of suffering harm. I have extensive experience in relationship-based and evidence-informed social work and have developed in-depth knowledge and skills in family support, child protection, care planning and rehabilitation. I have worked within child protection for over 10 years in multi-cultural and diverse communities and am experienced in assessing parenting capacity and providing therapeutic interventions for families affected by trauma, mental health difficulties, substance and alcohol misuse, domestic and sexual abuse, learning difficulties and migration. I have completed a wide range of court directed assessments including parenting assessments, risk assessments, viability assessments, connected persons assessments and special guardianship reports. I have routinely made recommendations to the Family Courts and have also managed complex cases involving international child abduction and suspected child homicide through the High Court and given oral evidence to both UK and US Courts. I am an HCPC registered social worker (SW95515), have an enhanced DBS and professional indemnity insurance. I am a member of BASW, Nalgro, CoramBAAF, the Centre for Social Work Practice and the Association of Family Therapy. I am based in London however I am able to travel across the UK and to foreign countries to complete assessments if needed.
