Forensics Europe Expo - Conference programme

With the statutory powers introduced through the Forensic Science Regulator Act 2021 and the implementation of Version 2 of the Code of Practice in October 2025, the regulatory environment for forensic science in the UK is undergoing significant change. This panel discussion, including the Director of Forensics at the UK Home Office, will explore what these changes mean for forensic service providers, police forces and suppliers. The discussion will focus on compliance, accreditation, operational impact and how regulation is helping to strengthen confidence in forensic evidence across the criminal justice system.
