Ethical Considerations

Supporting Your Safety and Wellbeing

Your safety and wellbeing are our top priority when using our assessments. Before administering any psychometric tool, we make sure you meet the age and reading requirements, and that the assessment is suitable for your current circumstances. We operate within our expertise and follow strict duty of care, ethical guidelines, and supplier requirements.

If there’s any uncertainty, we will request medical clearance from your GP or a qualified mental health professional. This ensures we can provide any necessary accommodations, minimise potential triggers, determine if it’s appropriate to proceed, and most importantly, support your wellbeing throughout the process.
