I take instruction from solicitors, barristers, and people involved in family court cases. 
​Much of the work I do for courts involves assessing the life situations of families.
       My skills include
  • Writing Section 7 and Section 37 reports in private law cases.
  • Parenting assessments.
  • Assisting divorcing parents to develop parenting plans especially when there has been a real breakdown in communication.​
  • Working with families and their legal representatives to assess the psycho-social impacts in immigration matters.
  • Conducting parenting assessments of parents involved with local authority child protection services. Work with local authorities and private clients who require a completely independent and impartial assessment.
  • Making viability assessments for special guardianship orders, and kinship care assessments.
  • Organising international social work assessments with family members who live in other countries requiring assessments.
A client wrote this review of my work in 2021
"Doug Racionzer’s ISW report, with all it’s innovative mechanisms, has made a greatly positive impact upon my Child Arrangements matter. Both the court and the legal practitioners involved have praised his work as providing a great insight into the whole proceeding"
