Our Story

TISWA was established in 2018 by a qualified and experienced social worker, who recognised the increasing demand for international social work assessments in family law cases, where children had family and friends in the Caribbean specifically, who were able to care for them. However, the safety considerations and the costs to local authorities, particularly, to send social workers to these locations, were alarming. The business was born to address this gap in services.

 

After receiving many enquiries for assessments to be completed in locations outside of the Caribbean, we developed and diversified. The demand was much more than we had anticipated and the business grew exponentially to become a network hub for qualified social workers all around the world, who complete assessments in their respective jurisdictions, after being trained and guided on the UK standard formats. With TISWA there is no longer a need for local authorities and other organisations to pay expensive airline fares to fly social workers out to various locations, as TISWA already have social workers, fully qualified, trained and culturally aware, in many locations worldwide.
