About Gary Crisp

I am an Independent Social Worker with over 20 years experience in the social care sector. I am also a social care expert witness for Court of Protection and First Tier Tribunal (SEND) matters.

I qualified as a Social Worker in 2009 with a MSc in Social Work from Royal Holloway, University of London, and, as well as gaining qualifications and CPD in SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) law and other areas of Social Work, I have been awarded the Cardiff University Bond Solon Family Expert Certificate.

I still practices as an Independent Social Worker across Devon and I am an executive director of a national Social Work company, Simply Social Work. The team at Simply Social Work can be instructed for Social Work assessments and reports across England and Wales.

Gary Crisp Consultants, established in 2012, is a leading provider of professional Social Work services to solicitors and professional deputies across Devon including Torbay, Exeter and Plymouth.

Independent Social Work Services Across Devon, including Exeter, Newton Abbot, Torbay and Plymouth

I specialise in mental capacity assessments (including those for children and young people), best interests determinations and social care reports for adults, children and young people. 

I am instructed by Court of Protection lawyers in leading law firms across England and Wales, as well as clinical negligence, personal injury and will writing specialists. I am instructed to write expert social care reports and review proposed and existing care arrangements including those for people living with a brain injury.  I am instructed by professional deputies to review care arrangements or help clients find the perfect care home.

I am instructed by education lawyers in first tier tribunal (SEND) matters.  I undertake comprehensive care and support needs reports for children and adults and I am regularly instructed to attend first-tier tribunal hearings as a social care expert.
