ARE YOU A WORRIED PARENT?

A CUBAS assessment isn’t like a test with workbooks and tick boxes. Your  assessor will ask questions, but ones you can fully understand.  They will listen to you, and help you to think about any changes you could make for you and your children. Also about what  extra help you might  need. They will  be honest with you about  any worries. Your  assessor will encourage you to  make  good  choices. Every  session is  a chance  to develop your  parenting. Lots of parents  surprised  everyone  and said they  actually  enjoyed their  assessment because it  felt  so  different.

 

CUBAS is individually tailored so it is an entirely suitable approach for parents with additional learning needs as well as those without such challenges

As very experienced social workers we know the sheer frustration of working with outdated assessment frameworks, and blunt evidence gathering tools that leave  parents  no  clearer,  just  patronised and disheartened. Frankly, children and parents deserve better, and of course the gravity of the decision making involved, demands better.  So CUBAS approaches and facilitation techniques are individually tailored throughout, to  make every  assessment entirely understandable for all parents. The approaches  encourage more  meaningful  engagement, without patronising. They focus on reflection  and  change and timely  development in parenting, and  they really work!

CUBAS will ensure you have enough time  to understand, reflect and develop

A CUBAS assessor will offer you enough time and lots of ways to think about what’s really important for you and your  child. They will provide clear information about what they are measuring and assessing. They will suggest things which could help you to develop as a parent so you  have  opportunities to  make  things  better.

At the end of your assessment your  assessor will provide a report.

Your fully  trained CUBAS assessor will write a short easy to read report just for you. It will be easy for you to understand and encourage you to think about your next steps. They will also write a report for the court or local authority. You will know what they are suggesting. The social worker may be  called to give evidence to assist the court before any decisions are made.
