Project West Ltd Information

Who we are: Assessing Parenting Capacity is not about making decisions based on values, judgements or ‘gut instincts’, but rather about gathering clear and factual information weighed against the child’s specific needs. With this in mind Pauline Bennett and Sylvia McCollin founded Project West in 2005. With considerable experience as Children’s Guardians; Independent Social Workers as well as knowledgeable and skilled within the Court arena; our multi-skilled team works flexibly in response to the needs of individual clients. We are aware of the importance of family life and ensure the protection and safety of children and young people by providing a forum where parents and children/young people can be together in a safe caring environment with a staff team who promote good parenting skills. Statement of Purpose: Children are our paramount concern and we aim to support the emotional, psychological, intellectual and social development of children and young people by adopting a child-centred perspective throughout. Project West provides a service that aims to empower families to make changes that enable children to be safe and to realise their potential. The centre provides an environment where families are valued and treated with respect as individuals.
