A psychologist who was found to have misled the family court about his qualifications had previously given expert evidence in at least seven other cases in which he may have been acting outside his remit.

Graham Flatman, an educational psychologist based in Kent, was suspended for six months by the regulator for taking work as a “clinical psychologist” and carrying out an assessment he was not qualified to make.
