About Williams Ross Consultants

Flexibility

Our services are tailored to modern day living and thus we work 7 days per week (except public holidays) and evenings. This helps to facilitate appointments with ‘working’ families and take account of any school commitments of the child. We provide a menu of services to fit with a variety of needs.

 

Working to deadlines

Children have a very different concept of time. To them a week can seem like a month. And when there is uncertainty it is important to settle matters as quickly as possible. This is also true for parents and other significant adults who want to move forward with their lives. To this end, Williams Ross Consultants aim to conclude their assessments as quickly as is reasonably possible, and in line with the Court timetable.
