Medico-legal assessments

A medico-legal assessment is an assessment which has been commissioned by the court in order to be used as evidence for medico-legal matters. We provide the court with objective, unbiased opinions on matters within educational and child psychology based on all material facts.

Our professional psychologists are available to be a single joint expert and as a party appointed expert. Our experts will provide impartial advice during the medico-legal process, they understand and will comply to their duty to the court.

What types of medico-legal assessments do we provide?

Our educational and child psychologists can carry out a broad variety of medico-legal assessments according to the individual situation. Medico-legal assessments are in depth and comprehensive which means that there may be more than one assessment used to compile detailed information relating to an individual. Cognitive assessments are commonly used to create a profile of an individual and direct towards further assessments. Assessments may be supported by observations and a structured interview. A range of psychological measures are available to be used to reach a conclusive understanding. We can also provide capacity assessments, read more about our solicitor services.
