FUTURE DIRECTIONS (SOCIAL WORK SERVICES) LIMITED

Future Directions (Social Work Services) Limited is an independent social‑work practice led by Steven Peet, MSc, BSW, a seasoned professional with over 15 years of experience in the Child & Family Agency. Registered with CORU (SW000304) and fully indemnified, Steven now offers his expertise directly to courts, solicitors, families, private companies and public bodies, ensuring that the voices of children are heard and their best interests are central to every decision.

The firm specialises in three core areas. First, it provides meticulous court reports and assessments, delivering child‑welfare and “voice of the child” reports that are both thorough and grounded, and offering mediation support for co‑parenting, guardianship and custody matters. Second, as a Guardian ad Litem with Gallore, it advocates for children and young people in child‑care law proceedings, working collaboratively with families, legal professionals and agencies. Third, it supplies independent social‑work services—including functional capacity assessments, fostering assessments, complaint investigations, quality audits and specialised research projects—to both private and public sector clients.

Based in Scartagh, Clonakilty, County Cork, Future Directions combines professional integrity with a compassionate, child‑centred approach, helping stakeholders achieve the highest standards of practice and the best outcomes for those they serve.
