This consultation seeks views on a draft code of practice (‘the code’) to be issued under the Forensic Science Regulator Act 2021.
This consultation closes at
The draft code sets quality standard requirements for forensic science activities related to the investigation of crime and the criminal justice system in England and Wales.
The draft code applies to England and Wales, but the Regulator welcomes views from stakeholders from across the UK. The Regulator also welcomes views from forensic science units outside of England and Wales but to whom the code will apply in so far as they carry on activities within England and Wales.
Representations are welcome from:
Following the consultation period, responses will be analysed, and the draft code will be revised as necessary. The code will then be sent to the Secretary of State for the Home Department for approval. Following this, the code will then be laid before Parliament for approval.
A response to this consultation exercise will be published on GOV.UK.
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Education Forum. The forum is open to members and non-members with the aim to bring a wide group of interested parties together to explore the opportunities for education, training and career development within forensic medicine.
The UK Association of Forensic Nurses and Paramedics is committed to developing and promoting appropriate education and training. However, clinical forensic medicine in the UK currently has limited opportunities for education and training and as a result, there is a lack of career development pathways. We believe that the UK Association of Forensic Nurses and Paramedics has a role to play in identifying standards for education, potentially accreditation and\or delivering training, while also providing innovation in relation to career development.
We are really excited to announce the formation of the UK Association of Forensic Nurses and Paramedics Education Forum, which will include a four-monthly meeting for anyone who is interested in developing education and training in our forensic medical world. We will endeavour to work with our wider stakeholders to develop a space for people to come together to explore if this is something they would like to participate in.
We are therefore asking for anyone who is interested in being part of this exciting new initiative to sign up using the link below. It is not necessary for forum members to be a UK Association of Forensic Nurses and Paramedics member, but membership is encouraged.
The meetings will be held remotely via MS Teams on the second Tuesday every four months starting on the 14th of June 15.30 – 17.00 pm. An MS Teams invitation will follow for those who sign up.
We encourage members to share this forum with their colleagues, managers, education leads, clinical leads, etc.
Best regards,
Marg Bannerman
Education Officer
