RAF Report Writing Training for Psychometrists (Live on Teams)

This is a practical, psychometrist-focused programme on how RAF medico-legal reports are compiled in real clinical settings. The training is based on report-drafting processes that I have used while working alongside a few clinical psychologists, and focuses on structuring information, presenting objective findings clearly, integrating collateral documentation accurately, and compiling a professional report format that supports defensibility.

 

Eligibility and scope: This training is intended for psychometrists who assist with RAF work under psychologist supervision, with psychologist review and sign-off where required. Psychologists are also welcome to attend if they would like to strengthen report structure, clarity, and defensibility.

 

Platform: Live online via Microsoft Teams
Format: 5 sessions × 60 minutes (delivered over 2 weeks, monthly intake)
Includes: Workbook + templates + de-identified examples

Psychologist-led medico-legal workflow (how the work is typically done)

In practice, RAF medico-legal matters are managed within a psychologist-led process. The psychometrist’s role may include structured information gathering, supervised administration/scoring of measures within scope, and draft preparation, while the supervising psychologist retains responsibility for the clinical opinion, final content, and sign-off prior to submission.

Typical process

1) Joint intake & consent
The client is seen within a psychologist-led consultation. Informed consent is obtained, including confidentiality and information-sharing permissions in line with POPIA requirements.

2) Structured information gathering
I conduct a structured interview and document collateral details, within the supervised workflow.

3) Psychologist review & addendum
The supervising psychologist meets with the client, clarifies and expands on key areas, and confirms the clinically relevant history.

4) Psychometric assessment (supervised)
I administer and score psychometric measures appropriate to the case, within my scope and supervision arrangement.

5) Draft report preparation
I prepare a structured draft integrating the collected information and assessment results.

6) Clinical review, amendments & sign-off
The supervising psychologist reviews the full draft, requests amendments where needed, finalises the medico-legal opinion, and signs off prior to submission.

 

Confidentiality & data protection

Client information is handled confidentially and processed only for the purpose of the medico-legal matter, with appropriate safeguards and consent processes.

What you will be able to do by the end

After completing the training, you should be able to:

  • Extract key requirements from instruction letters and build a clear case plan

  • Convert interview notes into report-ready history/background writing

  • Present objective findings in a clean, professional format (tables + brief write-up per domain)

  • Summarise and cross-reference collateral records (hospital notes, RAF1, specialist reports)

  • Compile a full report structure while avoiding duplication and inconsistencies

  • Apply a simple QA approach to improve the final document’s professionalism and defensibility

How the course works (what to expect)

Each session is short, focused, and structured:

  • You will receive a workbook with templates and guided tasks

  • During each live session, we cover a section of the workflow and I show you how it appears in a report

  • You will complete small workbook tasks to practise the skill (optional but strongly recommended for learning)

 

Examples used in training are de-identified and may include sections from more than one report. This is intentional: not every real case contains every section, so the course teaches the full framework and how to write when information is missing.

What you receive (included)

  • Downloadable workbook (guided tasks + structure)

  • Templates (intake checklist, results tables, collateral summary templates, QA prompts)

  • De-identified examples to demonstrate correct formatting and flow

  • Confirmation email with Teams link and your workbook access (after payment)
