The Expert Witness Institute and Expert Insight Announce Strategic Partnership to Elevate Standards for Psychologists

byHeather George

The Expert Witness Institute, the UK’s leading body for expert witnesses, is proud to announce a new partnership with Expert Insight, a community dedicated to supporting registered psychologists working as expert witnesses. This collaboration will enhance professional development and support for this vital group of specialists.

The partnership aims to combine the EWI’s robust framework for legal and professional standards with Expert Insight's tailored clinical, psychological, and peer support. By working together, the two organisations will help ensure registered psychologists who serve as expert witnesses are equipped with both the essential legal training and the specialised clinical support needed to excel.

“The EWI is committed to supporting the proper administration of justice through high-quality expert evidence,” said Simon Berney-Edwards, CEO of the EWI. “Our partnership with Expert Insight will allow us to directly address the specific needs of registered psychologists, ensuring they have access to a complete range of resources—from formal legal training and accreditation to practical tools and resources that strengthen the clinical skills of expert psychologists —that is crucial for their work in civil litigation.”

Expert Insight was created to meet the unique challenges faced by registered psychologists in the expert witness field. Its mission is to provide accessible, practical, and responsive support, focusing on short-form clinical content and diagnosis-specific guidance.

“Expert Insight was founded on the principle of developing a strong, supported community for registered psychologists,” said Dr Kathryn Newns, co-founder of Expert Insight. “We are strong advocates for the EWI and its role as the benchmark for best practice. This partnership is a natural fit, allowing us to complement EWI’s legal and professional training by signposting our members to their key offerings, while we focus on the development of clinical skills within the legal context.”

Through this new alliance, the organisations will work together to broaden the pool of qualified experts and enhance the reputation of expert evidence.
