Self-contained accommodation is provided for children and their parents for the purpose of residential assessments. The assessment of a child also involves the parent’s current capacity to respond to the child’s needs and to safeguard their welfare. Parents are given such advice, guidance, and counselling (discussion) as is considered necessary.

Residential assessments are highly beneficial for families in which the parents need for intensive and round the clock support in order to learn and develop the skills necessary for child care, for example, young parents, parents who have been in care themselves, or parents with a range of learning difficulties. For these families, parenting and residential pyschological assessment can provide professionals with information about the parent’s capacity to engage with support, their capacity to take in and implement advice and support, and the prognosis for their capacity to meet their child’s needs in the long term.
