Lie Detector Test Birmingham

Yes. The Centre for Forensic Neuroscience provides confidential polygraph examinations in Birmingham and across the West Midlands, conducted by Dr Keith Ashcroft. Appointments are arranged after a preliminary consultation to confirm the matter is suitable for examination.

Examinations are conducted in a suitable, private and controlled environment. We arrange neutral professional venues in the Birmingham area, including meeting rooms and clinic settings. In line with APA recommendations, we do not conduct examinations in domestic (home) settings.

Fees are quoted individually because the cost depends on the nature of the issue, the complexity of the case, preparation time, venue arrangements, travel, and reporting requirements. A straightforward private examination will differ from a legally instructed or therapeutic matter.

The fee is always confirmed in advance before an appointment is agreed. To receive an estimate, please contact us with a brief outline of the matter.

Yes. Solicitors, barristers and legal professionals may instruct the Centre for criminal, civil, family and immigration matters. Fees for legally instructed work may be quoted on a case-by-case or professional day-rate basis. Dr Ashcroft is qualified as an Expert Witness.

Yes, where an employee is under investigation for specific allegations such as theft, fraud or misconduct. The examination must still be voluntary and the matter must be suitable for polygraph testing. We also offer pre-employment screening for roles where trust and security are paramount.

Absolutely. All examinations must be taken on a voluntary basis. No person should be intimidated or coerced into taking a polygraph test. If we believe coercion or threats are present, we will decline the instruction.

A comprehensive, confidential written report is produced where appropriate. In most cases, preliminary results are communicated during or shortly after the examination. A peer review may be conducted before the final report is issued.

No. Every question is thoroughly discussed and agreed with the examinee during the pre-test interview. No surprise questions are ever asked. The examination addresses a single specific issue to ensure accuracy.

Yes. We arrange examinations across the West Midlands, including Birmingham city centre, Solihull, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Walsall, Sandwell, Coventry and Sutton Coldfield. A suitable professional venue will be arranged in or near your preferred location.

Certain physical, psychological or medical conditions may make a person unsuitable, including severe cardiovascular issues, respiratory disorders, neurological conditions, acute anxiety disorders, psychosis, cognitive impairments, pregnancy, or substance intoxication.

We also decline instructions where the purpose appears punitive rather than investigatory, or where the matter cannot be framed as a clear, specific issue. Suitability is always assessed before an appointment is confirmed.
