CUBAS is a dynamic and adaptable parenting assessment model and software assisted solution for Social Workers. It has been designed by social work professionals who understand the complexities of the assessment process. Our assessments accommodate all parents, including those with additional needs. The CUBAS Assessments use cleverly designed tools and processes to actively promote change where change is possible. All parent’s capacity to learn and develop is gauged throughout the process. The Assessor uses the most relevant and up to date integral assessment tools to facilitate meaningful engagement and understanding and applies specific risk and need criteria. All CUBAS Assessments recommend relevant support to further reduce/negate risk and support ongoing change where possible.
