Revolutionary software for Social Workers to think well, work relationally and make a difference.
The problem at hand
- Children’s social care demand is rising, with increasingly complex cases.
- Poor outcomes for children at risk both inside and outside home.
- Limited “thinking time” leads to rushed decisions, higher re-referrals and costly repeat interventions.
- Social workers spend up to 80% of time on administrative tasks, not direct care.
- Inefficient IT systems and paperwork create operational waste across the sector.
Annual costs in England exceed £15 billion.
Staggering 50% expense growth in last 5 years.
More than 2/3 is spent on late interventions.
Local authorities are under pressure to:
- Improve quality of care.
- Reduce re-referrals and children entering care.
- Increase staff retention in a struggling workforce.
Current systems are compliance & recording tools, not thinking tools.
UK government & professional bodies (BASW, Ofsted) call for better tools to rebalance direct work vs desk work.
How PipsaFlow helps
- Lightweight, intuitive platform: designed to support practice, not replace case management systems.
- Captures and structures professional thinking without heavy data entry.
- Provides guided reflective prompts for systemic and relational practice, including cultural context and identity.
- Enables secure information sharing across teams, reducing duplication and fragmentation.
- Keeps the child’s voice and lived experience central to assessment and planning.

Chronology builder
Document Intelligence Engine that automatically extracts, organises, and interprets historical information about a family from case files, reports, emails, documents, and notes. This module transforms fragmented case information into a clear, structured chronology that supports deep, systemic understanding.
Genogram
Genogram tool creates beautiful, useful genograms from voice or text input. Genogram tools helps you visualise relationships, spot patterns and themes and develop hypotheses to guide your work.
Case Consult
Case Consult supports rich and purposeful case discussion between two or more people. The tool systematically guides users through a structured discussion framework reducing the risk of conversational drift. And to prevent discussion by rote, the software uses unexpected questions to offer stimulative challenge to the conversation.
