Not sure where to start?

Then book a free telephone call. A free 15-minute telephone call gives you the chance to ask questions, find out how the assessment process works, and get honest upfront information about costs.

Live availability is shown on the booking section above. If none of the times available suit you, just say so in your message and we’ll find a time that does.

Evidence and adjustments

Many people get in touch because an organisation has asked for evidence. Often the report you already hold is enough. Ask whether your existing evidence may be sufficient. There is no charge for that conversation.
