Scotland's Child and Family Assessment Centre (SCAFAC)

Stirling

Scotland’s Child and Family Assessment Centre, a service of Aberlour Child Care Trust,  provides a range of independent community-based assessments for children aged 0 -16 years of age and their families across Scotland.

Our independent evidence based assessments provide local authorities, healthcare, legal and childcare professionals, who work with or represent children, with the clear and defined recommendations they need to make informed decisions about the protection and nurture of children.

Our dedicated assessment team offers in-depth knowledge, expertise and practical experience using most up to date assessment tools and techniques while drawing on the latest academic research.  They are experienced in working with local authorities on all aspects of child protection.

 "The Assessment Centre is a vital resource, we really need a service which can provide independent, time limited, well organised, in-depth and rigorous assessments"
