Ashleigh Rees
Acorn Family Assessment Service
About
ISW with over 8 years of experience in court-directed assessments in public and private law. Experience in various roles at Cafcass, in LA Child Protection teams, and most recently my own practice. I specialise in parenting, sibling, viability, risk, and contact assessments, as well as Section 7 reports. I bring an analytical, evidence-based approach, always with the child's best interests at heart. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed and systemic family approaches, with expertise in working with neurodivergent families. I'm a confident court witness and deliver robust, well-reasoned recommendations within tight deadlines.
