I accept instructions for criminal cases where there are concerns regarding vulnerable parties. The assessments I complete include:
- Cognitive functioning / intellectual functioning assessment to comment on the person’s abilities and needs
- More specific neuropsychological assessments (e.g., memory, executive functioning etc.)
- Suggestibility assessments
- Mental Capacity Act assessments undertaken in line with the core principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, in that capacity is time and decision specific
I have a registered CJSM account having worked with Crown Prosecution Service and defense cases in the past.
