Criminal Law and Parole Board

Evidence-based risk assessments for the Criminal Courts and Parole Board hearings.

How we deliver clear forensic evidence

The panel of clinical and forensic psychologists at Psychology and Psychiatry Experts undergoes specialist training in evidence-based risk assessment, providing clear, objective evidence to the courts. Our aim is to clarify the issues of contention, speed up the court process and identify clear objectives for change.
We work to Legal Aid rates and deliver reports within three to five weeks, matching each case to an expert with the specific forensic skills and experience it requires.
