We are keen to work with providers of Forensic Science services to help them embed the National Occupational Standards (NOS) into their existing quality management systems. If you already have an accredited quality management system we believe you can meet the requirements of the NOS in a very cost efficient and effective way.
If you are starting out on your journey regarding quality management we can help you embed the NOS from the start of this process thus ensuring the most effective and efficient implementation.
If you work for a police force there are several ways we can help you with the embedding of the NOS within your scientific support unit to maximise efficiency and which can, in the long term, reduce your costs.
We are particularly interested in working with employers who provide digital forensics services and working with them to integrate the forensic science and countering e-crime NOS into their quality management systems.
The Forensic Science NOS are available on our NOS Finder tool and the countering e-crime NOS are also available.
Fit for Purpose?: Research into the provision of Forensic Science degree programmes in UK HEIs
In response to employer concerns about the fitness for purpose of forensic science degree programmes, Skills for Justice embarked on a lengthy and detailed research project to understand better how the proliferation of these programmes has impacted on the overall quality and relevancy of Forensic Science degrees in the UK.
The Fit for Pupose documents can be found on our Research reports page|
