Services to Solicitors, Agents and Employers

Solicitors:

We have been providing Expert Witness assessments and reports for over 20 years. We are ideally placed to offer advice and in-depth reports on:

• capacity to participate, instruct, plead, etc.
• witness reliability and 'Achieving Best Evidence'
• cognitive function, disability, mental health, suggestibility and vulnerability
• the need for special measures, intermediaries and other support
• mental health perspectives, sexual knowledge and understanding of relationships
• pre-sentencing reports
• disposal and post-sentencing arrangements

Agents:

We accept referrals from schools, colleges, universities, LEAs and others acting on behalf of our clients. In most cases, the referrer provides background information, makes appointments, and receives the final report. Depending on the context of the referral, this report can:

• provide a profile of your cognitive and intellectual abilities, executive functioning and personality factors
• support an application for SEN statementing
• outline the guidance, tuition and support you need for learning
• recommend access arrangements you might need for examinations
• advise on reasonable adjustments, arrangements or support needed to help you in employment

Employers:

We can provide reports tailored to your specific purpose, and will include action-plans and recommendations where appropriate. Our experience in the field of employment has included investigations relating to:

• reasonable adjustments in the workplace
• recruitment, promotions or appointments at all levels of the workforce
• coaching, mentoring and dealing with communication problems within an organisation or department
• performance problems, and particularly those resulting in disciplinary procedures or tribunal hearings
• stress, burnout and stress management programmes
