Nellie Supports is an independent social work practice providing specialist assessments, advice, and advocacy across England and Wales—from capacity assessments to EHCP support, care planning, and expert court reports

We offer mental capacity assessments, EHCP support (application, draft review, appeals), care coordination (Nellie+), PIP/benefit reviews, case management, court reports (e.g. life expectancy, retrospective capacity), and CHC/care funding appeals.

Our team is led by Ben Slater, a qualified, registered Social Worker with a team that includes registered social workers, psychologists, forensic specialists, and a funding lead focused on care funding and appeal support.

Our services are available to families, deputies, solicitors, SENCOs, local authority professionals, educators, and healthcare practitioners across England and Wales.

We combine legal and social care expertise, deliver court‑compliant reports, operate nationwide, and offer long-term case management and clear communication throughout complicated processes.

You can contact us directly via phone, email, or form. Our team will help determine the most appropriate pathway, explain pricing, timelines, and book your service—usually same or next working day.

All our assessors are registered and experienced—including Social Work England or Social Care Wales registration, The British Psychology Society and accredited in MoCA and financial vulnerability, and expertise in legal frameworks like the MCA or Care Act.

For assessments and support, we typically respond within one working day, schedule appointments within 5–10 business days, and can prioritise urgent cases if needed

We provide remote services across England and Wales, plus face-to-face assessments in local regions. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.

We offer transparent, fixed pricing with no hidden extras. Quotes are clarified before work begins—covering assessment, report, and travel (where applicable), exclusive of VAT.
