Our Forensic Services
Working with Mentally Disordered Offenders (MDO's) can often be complex and difficult to navigate. Our practitioners have extensive experience of working with MDO's and can offer you guidance, support and training.
We are able to provide court reports (remand or sentenced prisoners), First Tier Tribunal reports, Parole Board Hearings reports, Hospital manager’s reviews and other proceedings, for those who have needs associated with mental health, autism and learning disabilities.
There are far too many cases of inappropriate disposals at court of offenders who have an autistic spectrum condition or learning disability. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system does not have a sufficient knowledge of these matters to always deal fairly or proportionately with a lot of these cases. Similarly, the co-occurence of mental health and autism is problematic to those trained purely in the field of mental health.
Our practitioners have both the expertise and experience to investigate cases where either the client’s disposal has been inappropriate or their detention under the Mental Health Act has been mis-managed.
