About us
Our History
Since 2015, Xyla Health and Social Services has delivered over 70 projects to more than 45 Local Authorities and ICBs throughout the UK. Across Health services and Adult’s and Children’s social care services, our fully qualified, experienced workers have completed over 25,000 assessments, identifying over £7m in annualised savings whilst supporting patients, service users and our clients to receive high quality outcomes.
As our business has evolved, so has our brand and we are excited to announce that in 2021 as part of a group-wide rebrand we will now be known as Xyla Health and Social Services. We started as the specialist projects division of Liquid Personnel, later taking the name Quality Assured Projects. We were then acquired by the UK’s largest health and social care staffing provider in 2016, Acacium Group (formerly known as Independent Clinical Services Group), and in 2018 we became ICS Assessment Services, continuing to provide a full end-to-end managed service across Adult and Children’s Services.
