We are committed to ensuring claimants receive high quality, fair and accurate assessments. We expect the highest professional standards from our Assessment Providers and closely monitor assessment quality through independent audit.

Allegations of dishonesty or malpractice by assessors are rare but whenever such claims are made, these are thoroughly investigated.
