Education, Conferences and CPD

The FSSoc was originally a learned society, but since becoming a professional body the FSSoc has become more involved in ensuring quality in university education courses and providing the opprotunity to gain qualifications. The FSSoc has been developing, implementing and reviewing a university course accreditation scheme since 2001 and has been providing FSSoc diploma courses for operational practitioners for several years. More information on these schemes is available via the links below.

FSSoc Professional Diplomas

In addition, the FSSoc prides itself in the range and quality of forensic conferences that we provide (at least 3 per year) and is developing a CPD scheme which parallels that used by lawyers. For more information on these activities is available via the links below.

FSSoc Conferences

The intention with these schemes / activities is to ensure quality in education, encourage professional development, encourage communication and collaboration and to develop links by which best practice can be communicated and debated.
