Section 7 Report across Essex
OBK Social Care Consultancy provides an independent Section 7 welfare report to families, solicitors, local authorities and organisations across Essex. Essex, Southend and Thurrock.
Sessions can be delivered in person at neutral venues across the city, at the family home where safe and appropriate, or remotely by secure video call. Travel is included in our standard pricing for East of England.
About this service
When the court needs an independent view of what is best for a child, a Section 7 report can be ordered under the Children Act 1989. We know these proceedings can feel stressful and confusing for everyone involved. Our role is to listen carefully, look at the situation fairly, and give the court a clear welfare analysis to help inform decisions about a child's living and contact arrangements.

Coverage in East of England
We accept instructions from anywhere in East of England and routinely travel to surrounding areas. Where in-person attendance isn't practical, secure video sessions are equally effective for most parts of the assessment.
