The Approved List includes the following types of assessments:

Psychiatric, psychological & cognitive assessments

Specialist risk and parenting / Parenting Assessments Manuals Software assessments

Special guardianship order (SGO) connected persons (CP) & viability assessments

Fostering assessments

Age assessments for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children’s assessments
