WELCOME TO SEA SOCIAL WORK

If you’re a person in need of services, a solicitor, a local authority professional, an advocate, or a family member looking for an Independent Social Worker specialising in adults and young people with disabilities – you’ve come to the right place.

For almost two decades, I’ve worked as a qualified social worker and supported people age 16+ with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, neurodivergence, brain injuries, dementia and mental health challenges.

I know the system, I understand the processes, and I genuinely care about making a positive difference – which is why service users, carers, professionals, and organisations instruct me to help them achieve better outcomes.

I’m Ali Sea,

founder of

Sea Social Work.

HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU

Independent Social Work Reports

Tailored, detailed reports that focus on individual needs and recommendations to support people’s wishes, aspirations and independence. Whether it’s for the Court of Protection, Parole Boards, Mental Health Tribunals or families looking for expert guidance, these reports are designed to help people access the right services, maximise their wellbeing, and quality of life.

Carers Assessments

Focused assessments that support carers under the Care Act 2014, ensuring they get the help they need in their unique situation to continue their caring role while considering their views, goals, and wellbeing.

Mental Capacity Assessments

Person-centred assessments that evaluate a person’s ability to make specific decisions including decisions about care and support, residence, finances, use of the internet and social media, contact with others, and sex – with COP3 paperwork provided if required.

Best Interests Decisions

When someone can’t make a decision for themselves, I help find the best solution. Each view on what is in a person’s best interests is backed by careful reasoning and recommendations that respect the person’s wishes and potential.

Consultancy Services

I partner with organisations to make services more accessible, streamline processes, and create better pathways for individuals with disabilities.

I treat everyone with unconditional positive regard.
I believe that every person – regardless of their history, medical conditions, strengths, or limitations – has a positive contribution to society.

I SEE YOU!

CLIENT FEEDBACK

I’ve had a report from Ali for a client with complex diagnosis’ including ASD, EUPD and she was amazing. Plus my client loved her which was an achievement in itself because she likes and trusts very few people!
