About the CPD course
In this unique presentation by two forensic scientists: well be providing valuable insight into the current Forensic Marketplace: the submissions process: how fragmentation of services affects your cases and the shortcomings of Streamlined Forensic Reports (SFRs). There will be discussion around current guidelines: the lack of clarity surrounding SFR usage: and plenty of case studies to help illustrate the key issues so that you can better understand when to challenge SFRs. Defence professionals will leave with a broader understanding of how evidence gathering: investigation and reporting can impact prosecution arguments and provide an incomplete picture of the true scientific evidence: potentially preventing defendants from mounting a proper defence.
