Forensic Awareness Education

Defence Forensics UK can offer lectures at our own Bath facility to a group of up to 10 participants at a time. This allows us to provide a personal service with participation of everyone involved. We have also introduced an on-site education program where we are able to come to your place of work and offer the same excellent level of education to suit your schedule. We can provide this service to any number of people at a time, suitable to the facilities available. Ever popular is our 1:1 service, where we can provide tailored expert advice and information suitable for general education and specific cases at our Bath facility or at your place of work. All of our courses and education, whether taken at our Bath facility or at your place of work, will count towards the 16 hours Law Society Continuing Professional Development that are required by members each year. Courses are suited to solicitors, counsel, police and others who have a legitimate requirement to access expert forensic education.

Defence Forensics offers courses in the following areas:

Crime Scene Investigation
IIncluding crime scene processing and scene tests.

Introduction to Forensic Science
Including information on the major forensic disciplines, theories and procedures.

Sels College Languages

Modern Forensic Biology
More thorough information on the role that forensic biology plays in human identification and modern investigations.

Paternity / DNA Testing
Background information on paternity and DNA testing, results and statistics and interpretation.

Use of Statistics in DNA and Paternity Testing
This course is designed to empower solicitors and counsel to interpret DNA test results and make informed decisions based upon such a review. This is not to replace forensic expert opinion, but rather to allow solicitors and counsel a chance to understand this type of testing and the meaning of the results obtained. This course will also include an introduction to DNA profile analysis.

Forensic Entomology
Including methods, applications, and case histories.

Each session is scheduled for approximately two (2) hours duration. We are able to condense or expand each session to accommodate clients’ requirements for time and information detail.

Please note that it is often not possible to provide detailed consultation regarding client’s specific cases during training as we require as much background information, as is available, prior to providing an educated esponse. We are, however, able to provide expert advice during a 1:1 session based upon available supplied information. This often works best when we are supplied with the details in advance and meet to discuss the forensic implications of testing to be, or previously, conducted in person.

Please contact us for details and schedule of the courses you are interested in. On-site and 1:1 sessions are arranged on an individual basis.
