The consultation is available at: Forensic science code of practice: version 2 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and closes on 10 March 2024.  

 

We will be providing a response to the consultation and would welcome the views of EWI members on the changes proposed to the code of practice to help inform the response.
