Independent Forensic Risk Assessor 

Specialising in risk assessments 
for domestic and sexual abuse

As an independent forensic risk assessor specializing in domestic and sexual abuse offences, I bring a wealth of expertise and a deep commitment to understanding the complexities of interpersonal violence and its impact on victims, offenders, and the community. With a solid foundation in forensic psychology and a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of abuse, I am dedicated to evaluating the risk factors associated with domestic and sexual violence. 

My work involves conducting thorough assessments to determine the likelihood of reoffending, the potential danger to victims, and the necessary interventions to mitigate these risks. By integrating evidence-based practices and maintaining a victim-centered approach, I strive to contribute to the safety and well-being of individuals and communities, while also supporting the rehabilitation and accountability of offenders. My role is crucial in informing legal decisions, guiding treatment plans, and ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to prevent further harm and promote justice.

A forensic risk assessment can aid in the following:
 Sentencing decision
 Assessment of risk of reoffending
 Treatment and management needs
 DBS decision-making
 Children's Services contact arrangements
