Psychological assessment requires expertise, context and responsibility.
Explore psychological assessment and screening within an appropriate professional framework. Where needs extend beyond the scope of a service, appropriate referral and specialist support should be considered.
The short answer
This is the part of assessment where care matters most and shortcuts do the most damage. Instruments in this area are not open to everybody, results are not self-explanatory, and a number can do real harm in the wrong hands. Administration is restricted to professionals qualified for it. Interpretation happens with the person, not about them. And where a need goes beyond what this service can properly do, we say so and refer.
