Employability   Reports   are   prepared   on   the   instruction   of   solicitors,   acting   either   for   pursuer/claimant   or   defender,   or frequently, in the case of English instructions, prepared under joint instruction basis according to the Woolf guidelines. Employability   Reports   identify   alternative   roles   that   an   injured   party   could   be   expected   to   undertake,   taking   into consideration   expert   medical   opinion   regarding   functional   limitations,   along   side   the   claimant's   education,   work   history and   transferable   skills.      Reports   are   primarily   based   on   a   semi-structured   interview   conducted   with   the   claimant,   usually in   their   own   home   but   sometimes   if   requested   at   the   premises   of   their   solicitor,   and   in   the   presence   of   a   person   of   their choosing if desired. Employability   Reports   provide   an   indication   of   future   earning   potential   following   injury,   as   well   as   local   labour   market information.      My   reports   can   also   contain   recommendations   for   vocational   rehabilitation   to   assist   the   injured   party   with future employment if requested. A typical Employability Report consists of the following sections:

• Introduction, including referral objectives • Summary of Findings • Medical Reports Reviewed • Treatment • Functional Limitations o Aids & Adaptations o Self-Care & Domestic Activities • Interests & Daily Activities o Pre-accident o Current daily routine

• Vocational Position o Education o Training & Qualifications o Employment History • Skills & Future Occupations o Potential Future Earnings • Accessible Labour Market Conditions • Recommendations • Information Sources • Statement of Truth and Compliance
