Forensic Science Regulator consultation on the code of practice

by Sean Mosby

The Forensic Science Regulator is consulting on the draft for the development of version 2 of the forensic science code of practice. The code of practice is used to set standards for forensic science activities related to crime investigations.

 

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.

 

If you would like to contribute, please contact our Policy Manager, Sean Mosby, at policy@ewi.org.uk by 1 March 2024.
