Four Steps to Getting Social Care Sorted
Families can’t afford six months of silence from the council. And when the report finally lands, it’s often generic, box-ticking nonsense
1. Independent Social Care Assessment
“Still Waiting? We’re Not.”
Families can’t afford to wait six months for a council report. And when it finally arrives, it’s often generic, box-ticking nonsense.
We deliver comprehensive, Care Act 2014–compliant social care assessments written in plain English. Our reports cover health, emotional wellbeing, education, family stress, and independence goals. They’re not just valuable for care planning—they also carry significant weight in PIP applications and personal injury claims.
2. Care Planning
“No More Vague Promises.”
A care plan that says “support as required” is no plan at all. Parents are left with uncertainty, gaps in care, and constant firefighting.
We co-produce a personalised care plan with you and your young person. It clearly outlines what support is needed, who provides it, and how it’s monitored. From respite care to long-term independence planning—nothing is left vague or uncertain.
3. Care Brokerage (Organising)
“Parents Aren’t Project Managers.”
Families shouldn’t have to spend hours contacting providers, comparing costs, and chasing services that don’t respond.
We act as your dedicated care broker—researching, shortlisting, and coordinating with providers that best fit your child’s needs. Whether it’s after a hospital discharge or during a challenging transition to adult services, we take the stress out of organising care so you can focus on your family.
4. Ongoing Review
“Needs Change. Plans Should Too.”
Support plans written years ago often don’t match your young person’s needs today. Families frequently notice the gaps long before services acknowledge them.
We stay involved with regular reviews, updating care plans to keep them relevant, identify risks early, and hold providers accountable—ensuring your child’s support evolves with them, not against them.
Social Care That Doesn’t Leave You Hanging
Independent Care Act assessments, proper care planning, and real follow-through for SEND families.
If you’re a parent of a child or young person with SEND, you know how broken the system can feel. Assessments often take forever—especially when your young person turns 18 and transitions to adult services. For younger children, assessments may be easier to obtain, but they’re often vague, outdated, or written to tick boxes rather than meet actual needs. Families end up firefighting while support stalls.
At Little Nellies, we do things differently. We conduct independent Care Act 2014 assessments that councils, tribunals, and courts take seriously. Our reports support care planning, PIP applications, and personal injury claims—providing evidence that truly counts. Most importantly, we keep the focus where it belongs: on your child or young person’s real, current needs—not ones from years ago.
Why Families Come to Us
The Pain Points Parents Tell Us
- “Still Waiting? We’re Not.”
- Families often wait months for assessments—especially when a young person turns 18. By the time support arrives, their needs have already changed.
- “Box-Ticking Isn’t an Assessment.”
- Children’s assessments might be easier to get, but they’re frequently vague, outdated, or written to save money instead of meeting actual needs.
- “Parents Aren’t Project Managers.”
- Health, education, and social care rarely communicate with each other. Families are left stuck in the middle, chasing updates and constantly firefighting.
- “Missed Needs = Missed Chances.”
- Poorly worded assessments can derail PIP applications, personal injury claims, or even access to basic support.

Health & Social Care Needs Court Report
When ‘Good Enough’ Evidence Isn’t Good Enough.

That’s what our Health & Social Care Needs Court Report delivers: a detailed, CPR Part 35–compliant assessment of your child’s or young person’s current and future care needs. It’s the evidence solicitors, deputies, and judges rely on — and it’s written in plain English, with costs that are realistic and defensible.
