Victoria Ellis of Pump Court and Sylvia Owolawi, independent social worker of Integrated Dispute Resolution, join host Mark Ablett to talk all things Independent social worker (ISW) in children proceedings from two different perspectives. Victoria discusses situations where from a legal standpoint an ISW would be justified or appropriate and Sylvia gives invaluable perspective from the social worker point of view, looking not only at the analysis an ISW can offer but also the hands on active social work. The podcast also looks at appointments of guardians and the relationship with an ISW in such a case. A must listen.
