Freedom from Torture - Manchester - Medico-legal Report Support Service
Our medico-legal support service provides extensive and specialist training for our doctors who conduct forensic assessments of survivors of torture seeking asylum in the UK. Our remit criteria can be found on our referral form, which can be found here.
Service involves:
• Our specialist and highly trained doctors take an account of the survivor’s ill-treatment, as well as details of their background and physical and mental health.
• They conduct a full physical assessment, examining the scars and injuries attributed to torture, and a detailed psychological assessment.
• An interpreter will be provided for people who do not speak fluent English.
How to access:
We cannot accept referrals directly from survivors. Referrals must be made by the survivor’s legal representative.
