At The Orchards we have staff who are trained in PAMS (Parent Assessment Manual) and are able to assess parents with learning difficulties/needs.
About PAMS Assessment
These assessments are carried out using the PAMS software. There are specific areas of parenting skills and ability which are assessed. At the end of the assessment there is a clear visual profile of parenting capacity and the areas of support and teaching required.
