Child and Family Solutions is a Child Protection Consultancy based in Bristol, UK. We provide expert assessment services to statutory authorities and the Court, also to individuals, using an approach that builds upon many years' experience in Child Protection work and is informed by a Systemic Family Psychotherapy perspective. We specialise in the Resolutions approach to risk reduction in child protection cases where abuse is denied.

  • Work with adults, children, parents, carers, members of extended family and friends as appropriate, in an individual or group context
