Independent Immigration Services
Navigating immigration cases can be complex and emotionally challenging, especially when they involve vulnerable individuals or require in-depth social work assessments.
As an independent social worker, I provide expert services tailored to support immigration cases, offering thorough assessments and detailed reports that meet the highest standards of legal and professional practice.
With years of experience and a deep understanding of the immigration process, I am committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based support to individuals and legal professionals alike.
Why Choose AJH Social Work for Immigration Services?
Best Interest decisions are made on behalf of individuals who cannot make decisions for themselves due to a lack of capacity.
These decisions must be made with careful consideration of the individual’s needs, preferences, and rights, following the principles set out in the Mental Capacity Act (2005).
Principles of Best Interest Decisions
Encouraging Participation
Whenever possible, the individual should be involved in the decision-making process.
Considering All Relevant Factors
Every aspect of the individual’s life should be considered, including their past and present wishes, feelings, beliefs, and values.
Consulting with Others
Family members, carers, and professionals should be consulted to provide a well-rounded perspective.
Avoiding Discrimination
Decisions must be free from bias and should not be based on assumptions about the individual’s age, appearance, condition, or behaviour.
