ASSOCIATE PROFILE – PHILIP KING (Male)


I am a qualified social worker with 26 years of post qualification experience. My GSCC registration number is 1019263. 

I hold the Advanced Award in Social Work which provides evidence of practice at Masters level. 

I have always specialised in work with children and families. My initial experience lies in local authority social work and management. I have operated as a freelance social worker since 1984 providing independent opinion and training services to many professionals. This initially included work as a Children’s Guardian.

My specialist areas of work are risk assessments of families including those where violence, drug misuse and/or learning disability are present; assessing attachment. I am an approved convenor for Family Group Conferences. I have a number of published works related to work with children and families. 

I have prepared many expert witness reports for all levels of Courts within the United Kingdom. I have regularly attended courses as part of my continuing professional development including training in administering certain psychometric tests such as assessing risk of violence and assessing various characteristics of child and parent interaction. 

My ethnic background is white Irish. I have operated as a freelance social worker for 22 years and I am one of the two founder Directors of ISWA.
