Psychiatric Assessments For Children And Adolescents

Cases involving children and young people need a sensitive, specialist approach. Our child and adolescent psychiatrists carry out age-appropriate assessments and prepare clear, independent reports for use in family court and personal injury proceedings, covering:

• The psychiatric impact of an accident or injury on a child.
• Mental health and emotional wellbeing assessments for family cases.
• Developmental and behavioural concerns relevant to a legal case.

Supporting Family Courts With Independent Child Psychiatry Reports

Family courts rely on independent psychiatric opinion to help decide what’s in a child’s best interests. Our psychiatrists prepare reports in line with the Family Procedure Rules (FPR Part 25), supporting cases involving:

• Child welfare and custody proceedings.
• Assessments of parenting capacity where a child’s mental health is a factor.
• Personal injury claims involving children and adolescents.

Cost Of A CPR-Compliant Medical Report In The UK

A standard medico-legal report with Evoque Medical starts from £450. The final cost depends on how complex the case is and how much time is needed to complete the report.

For example, a straightforward case usually costs less than a complex case that needs deeper analysis, more than one assessment, and review of several medical records.

We always recommend requesting a callback so we can discuss your case and give you an accurate cost estimate.
