A child-centred approach - Regardless of the type of report that is completed, the safety of the child is the main consideration in the forming of all of our assessments.
We move cases forward swiftly - Our reports provide clarity in areas of risk, specialising in complex cases, we can help move cases on with realistic views on treatment and risk management within the children's timescales.
Experienced expert witnesses with relevant expertise - All of our assessments can be used in court, our experts have many years' experience in the field and in the family courts as specialists and expert witnesses.
Independent - DV-ACT is an independent organisation with all work completed on a spot purchase basis.
