Mrs Alice Lawrence

I deliver expert Mental Capacity assessments (including COP3 forms and decision-specific evaluations), care reports, safeguarding investigations, CQC audit support, and a wide range of consultancy services designed to improve care quality, compliance, and outcomes.

I am an experienced and highly skilled social work professional, registered with Social Work England. My work spans statutory, private, and consultancy settings, underpinned by a commitment to high standards, legal compliance, and person-centred and strengths based practice. I collaborate with local authorities, legal professionals, and insurers to deliver expert assessments, policy frameworks, and regulatory training.
