Independent Social Work · Cardiff

Compassionate support for children, families and the people who care for them.

ILPS Social Work Limited is an independent practice led by Julie Samaden, offering assessments, safeguarding advice and family support across the UK.

Social worker meeting warmly with a family

A practice built around trust, dignity and outcomes.

Every referral is met with careful listening, evidence-informed practice and a commitment to keeping people at the centre of every decision.

Person-centred

We build our work around the person, not the process — with time, empathy and respect.

Safeguarding first

Robust, defensible practice that protects children and vulnerable adults at every step.

Clear reporting

Analytical, court-ready assessments written with clarity and professional confidence.
