Informe pericial psicológico

Spanish to English Social Sciences Psychology Forensic Psychology
I’m translating a brief informational article about what psychological reports by expert witnesses are and how they work.

Could this term be translated more literally as “expert (witness) psychological report?” I have also considered using “forensic psychology report” since this is a more commonly used phrase. From my research, there is not much difference between the two terms, but I wanted to check and make sure if one is preferable to the other. Thanks in advance.

Psychology expert witness report

This one seems to crop up a number of times in relation to the UK; I'm not sure what the US equivalent would be.

"The Psychology Expert Witness Report
Psychology expert witness reports typically begin with the case facts and an explanation of the psychology expert witness’ function in the case."

"These specialist psychological assessment services are also available to children and adults resident in other parts of the UK who are assessed for the purposes of preparing a medico-legal or psychology expert witness report."
