With a head office in Ipswich, CFSW provides high quality social work intervention and education services to assist busy Local Authorities and help children and young families avoid a lifetime of care and state intervention. CFSW has a growing reputation for its preventative services and operates in a fragmented market with Local Authorities under increasing pressure.<\/p>\n
CFSW has become a one-stop shop for its local authority clients providing both social work support and education services to children with specific needs.\u00a0\u00a0Its services are innovative, highly regarded and desperately needed. Demand for CFSW\u2019s services has increased as a result of the coronavirus and lockdown and the problems created by this pandemic are widespread and long term.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
CFSW is run by Ross Evans, a 36 year old former teacher.\u00a0\u00a0Ross is dynamic, entrepreneurial and has a deep understanding of the market\u2019s needs and he heads up the fast growing education division which was launched in October 2018.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Jen Elliott, CEO of Education Personnel Management, will chair the business. Jen has extensive experience in the education sector working with local authorities and she has led two previous private equity exits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
