Westminster Forensic Commission team visit Gartcosh
Four members of the Westminster Commission on Forensic Science visited the Scottish Crime Campus, Gartcosh, in January 2025. They are looking at the provision of forensic science in England and Wales and were interested understating more about the delivery model used by Forensic Services in Scotland. They spent a day being briefed by member of the Senior Management Team as well as touring the laboratories with a Lead Forensic Scientist.
The Westminster Commission on Forensic Science was set up in March 2023 by the Westminster All-Party Parliamentary Group on Miscarriages of Justice and is due to publish its finding in the Spring 2025.
