About this service

If you are facing a parenting capacity assessment, it is natural to feel anxious about what it involves and what it might mean for your family. A parenting capacity assessment is a careful, evidence-based look at a parent or carer's ability to meet a child's developmental, emotional, educational and safety needs, now and in the years ahead. Our approach is fair, respectful and focused on understanding both the challenges and the strengths within the family.
