Community Assessment Services
Standalone Community Assessment
Our team provides bespoke community-based assessments tailored to the needs of each family. Our flexible approach includes in-person key work sessions, random drug testing, and both announced and unannounced visits to ensure a thorough and supportive assessment process. Families undertaking community assessments can also benefit from access to the wide range of programmes offered at Jamma Umoja, providing additional support and opportunities for positive outcomes.
Post-Residential Support
Jamma Umoja offers continued support for families following the completion of their initial residential assessment. This service ensures continuity of care, helping to maintain positive progress while strengthening relationships between families and the professionals supporting them.
Prognostic Assessments
Short, focused assessments providing timely indicators of capacity for change, parental insight and the ability to meet children's needs within tight court timescales. These assessments are designed to give clear recommendations on whether further work should be undertaken and are usually 6 weeks.
Pre-Placement Community Risk Assessments
Clear, robust evaluations completed prior to reunification or new placements. Focusing on safety, risk, strengths and protectice factors.
Intervention
Where a full assessment is not deemed appropriate, Jamma Umoja can still offer targeted support to parents. This includes structured key work sessions, home visits, and access to Jamma Umoja’s online group programmes, ensuring families continue to receive guidance and support tailored to their needs.
