Social Care, Without the Runaround

Independent social work support that gets past the red tape and puts your child’s needs front and centre

Navigating care for your child or young person shouldn’t feel like hitting a brick wall. Yet too many families get stuck in local authority red tape, face providers who don’t listen, and endure endless delays. At Little Nellie’s, we cut through the bureaucracy. Our independent social care services provide clarity, truly impartial advice, and practical support—so you can finally get the help your child needs, without the runaround.

What social care means for your family

Social care isn’t just about services—it’s about ensuring your child or young person has the right support to live well, feel safe, and keep progressing. Unfortunately, many families get stuck in the system—bounced between departments, slowed by red tape, or left waiting for months.

At Little Nellie’s, we put families back in control. Our social care services provide clear guidance on the support your child needs, independence from council delays, and practical assistance to get the right plan in place. Whether you need a one-off assessment or ongoing case management, we keep the focus where it belongs—on your child’s needs and future.

Why Choose Little Nellie's?

Does your local authority’s assessment miss your child’s real needs? Is the report outdated, incomplete, or stuck on a long waiting list? You’re not alone—too many families are left waiting while their child goes without vital support.

Social care shouldn’t feel like begging for crumbs. It should be clear, fair, and genuinely work for your family. That’s why we do things differently.

We don’t do suits or jargon—just straight talk and honest answers. If something’s broken, we’ll say so. If there’s a gap, we’ll help you plug it.

Our work is parent-first. You’re already juggling enough—our job is to make the process easier, not heavier.

When it comes to councils, sharp, evidence-based reports speak louder than sob stories. Our reports are tight, factual, and hard to dismiss. That’s why they’re taken seriously by professionals.

And we’re upfront about costs. Fixed fees, no hidden nasties. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for before you say yes.
