Forensic Vocational & Employability Assessments
Forensic vocational and employability assessments are critical evaluations that analyse an individual's ability to work and their potential for employment within the context of legal proceedings. These assessments consider various factors, including the individual's education, work history, skills, physical and psychological health, and the labour market conditions. By providing a detailed understanding of an individual's vocational capabilities and employability prospects, these assessments play a vital role in personal injury cases, disability claims, and other legal matters where an individual's work capacity and future earning potential are in question. Through objective and comprehensive evaluations, forensic vocational and employability assessments ensure that legal decisions are informed by accurate and reliable information.
