2 firms listed for Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk · details as published on their sites, September 2026.
Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk each retain their own Crown and combined court centres, so a psychiatric or psychological report commissioned for the region needs to be addressed to the right building rather than a single regional court. Essex work runs through Chelmsford Crown Court alongside Basildon Magistrates’ Court and Family Court, Hertfordshire cases go through St Albans Crown Court and Watford County Court and Family Court, Cambridgeshire has both Cambridge Crown Court and Peterborough Combined Court Centre, and Norfolk cases are heard at Norwich Combined Court Centre.
Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust and Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust cover mental health services in their counties, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust runs a forensic and secure ward at Fulbourn, and Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust operates several medium and low secure wards, including Blakeney Ward at Northside House. Anglia Ruskin University’s School of Medicine is based in Chelmsford with clinical placements across Essex, and the University of Cambridge’s Department of Psychiatry, at the Herchel Smith Building on the Forvie Site, anchors the region’s academic psychiatry.
Tips for East of England
- Essex criminal and family work is split between Chelmsford Crown Court and Basildon Magistrates’ Court and Family Court, so confirm which centre has conduct of the case.
- Hertfordshire splits Crown Court work at St Albans from county and family matters at Watford County Court and Family Court.
- Cambridgeshire has two separate combined centres, Cambridge Crown Court and Peterborough Combined Court Centre, each with its own listing and administration.
- Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust’s medium and low secure wards are relevant where a Norfolk report concerns a detained patient rather than a community assessment.
