Services
Hawkins Social Work Consultancy Limited provides independent services to Local Authorities, private organisations, legal professionals, the courts, and to parents, carers and extended family members of children involved with services.
All services offered by Hawkins Social Work are trauma-aware, trauma-informed and trauma-regulated. Practice aligns with the Trauma Regulation Board’s General Standards, Code & Standards for Children’s Social Work, and Children’s Social Work Practice Guidance, alongside Social Work England’s Professional Practice Standards for Social Workers.
Evidence indicates that a significant proportion of people involved with statutory services experience complex trauma. We therefore ensure this knowledge is embedded throughout our practice, assessment processes and reporting.
Our assessments and reports use the TRB Framework for the Assessment of Children and Families. This incorporates additional domains and dimensions beyond standard Children’s Social Care assessment frameworks, producing a more robust, mechanism-first assessment underpinned by trauma science—supporting greater objectivity and a clearer, more defensible rationale.
