ISWA is an independent social work Agency, working across the United Kingdom, and overseas. Its workforce consists of a large group of freelance, expert social workers. It is committed to putting equality into practice. In all areas of its practice, it is ISWA’s philosophy to respect that: - Children and their families are all individuals with specific needs and potential. Families usually want what is best for their children and have tried hard to achieve this. Diversity and difference should be embraced and understood. Time is a crucial element in children’s cases and should be measured from the child’s point of view. All children and their families are entitled to information to help them understand their past, present and future. Respect, sensitivity and honesty are crucial ingredients in work with children and their families.
ISWA’s Mission is to produce high quality intervention in respect of all our services. This embraces the above philosophy and allows children to move forward into permanent, safe and stable care environments whether this be within their own families or elsewhere. An example of our commitment to this ambition is reflected in our expert risk assessments which are comprehensive, well balanced and structured in a way to contribute to best decision making for children and families. Our intervention is provided by expert practitioners who are rigorously checked for the quality of their expertise and the safety of their practice.
