Service
Criminal Law
Psychological evidence and assessment to support criminal law instructions.
About this service
Criminal law assessments are prepared where solicitors and courts need psychological evidence as part of a defence, prosecution or sentencing decision.
Instructions are matched to an accredited clinician on our panel. Reports are written so that solicitors, courts, insurers and clinical readers can follow the question, the method and the conclusions.
What the work usually includes
- Review of the letter of instruction and available records
- Interview and, where required, formal testing
- A written report addressing the instructed questions
- Follow-up clarification or oral evidence if that is part of the instruction
Who it is for
Solicitors, insurers, agencies, employers, educational settings and private clients who need an independent psychological or psychiatric opinion related to Criminal Law.
How the process works
- Send the questions, papers and any deadline.
- We confirm the expert, practical arrangements and timescales.
- The assessment takes place in person or remotely where appropriate.
- The report is quality-reviewed and issued to the instructing party.
