ISWP. The Philosophy

We are committed to providing advice and assistance to anyone who approaches us which will enable them, and their relatives and advisors, to make informed decisions about their life and the way they wish to live it.

We work ethically and to social enterprise principles. We will continue to reinvest time to provide guidance and help to individuals and to other social care agencies. We invite customer feedback and we regularly evaluate our service performance.

We will at all times maintain the highest professional ethical standards through integrity and respect for all of our clients and other stakeholders.

We will support equality and diversity in all we do and strive to create relationships based upon mutual trust regardless of personal circumstance.

Our practice is governed by Social Work England’s Professional Standards which can be found at www.socialworkengland.org.uk.

We believe that being independent allows us the opportunity to offer a truly impartial professional social work service.
