Service
Family Court
Evaluation of parental fitness, child arrangements and family dynamics for family proceedings.
About this service
Family court assessments address questions about parental capacity, child arrangements and the dynamics of the household, in a form the court can use.
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 Family Court.
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.
