“Having represented a large number of vulnerable parents with learning needs I have looked for an assessment tool that will give my clients the fairest possible chance to be fully assessed.

The CUBAS assessment framework provides an excellent assessment. A document is prepared separately from the main assessment to help a parent to understand the outcome and any issues raised. It provides helpful, fair and balanced recommendations and ensures that any possible work that could be done is clear for the court, the advocates and importantly a parent with learning needs. I would not hesitate to recommend a CUBAS assessments for my clients”

JoPorter, Barrister, Four paper Buildings (London)

“CUBAS is an absolute non-negotiable for the creation of fair, robust and evidenced based, court ready parenting assessments.

CUBAS highlights strengths and weaknesses and shines a laser to the areas that other Dynamic Parenting Assessments leave glaring, yet often unnoticed deficits. The deficits and bluntness of previous Dynamic Parenting Assessments have often prevented potentially capable individuals from parenting… a state of the art approach that will inform the next generation of assessors.”

I think CUBAS is fantastic and I’m really looking forward to using it in practice.

The best course I have been on. Very logical but also visual which suits my learning style.

Training was great, clearly explained and flowed. Tools used were really good and evident how much thought has gone into this. Think this is a far more succinct model and 100% more parent friendly.

Have really enjoyed both days of the training. Trainers were extremely knowledgeable with lots of wisdom. Felt like I really understand the concept and process – just now need to practice. So much better than other models I have trained in.

Really enjoyed the training – thought was well paced in logical order, really easy to understand. Enjoyed the kinks to how and why it was developed and principles think this gives more confidence around understanding why doing things a certain why. Much Much better than other models and really looking forward to my first assessment.

Clear, informative training. Very excited to use CUBAS. This makes sense to me! (other frameworks are confusing)

Amazing absolutely loved every minute. Fantastic model, facilitators and met some new people – Excellent thank you.

This was one of the best training sessions I've been to in the last 10 years. Very informative and practical advice. I loved the toolkit and how it engages parent.

Could really feel how much the facilitators cared a lot about outcomes and timescales for parents and young people. The focus on including positives of parents (strengths). Definitely think you have cracked your goal of leaving a legacy of improving social work practice. Really impressed with the amount of tools.

The best training course I have attended in my 20 year social work career. So refreshing to learn an inclusive positive strengths focussed model of assessment that leads to specific and detailed evidence with the potential for change. I found the Truth Game and Parent Game very moving. The concept of the Parent Report is FANTASTIC! Thank you very much
