Chartered Forensic Practitioner Status ChFP
Following the huge success of the ChFP pilot scheme in October, the CSFS is delighted to announce the launch of our next assessments, planned for the week commencing the 18th February 2019. Please contact Jean at membership@csofs.org to express your interest and notify us of the discipline in which you wish to be assessed by no later than 19th December, we will then contact you with more details early in the New Year. If you expressed an interest in the pilot scheme, but were not included, then please contact us if you wish to be considered.
In the fullness of time, we believe all forensic practitioners should aim to gain Chartered Status.
Who can apply?
Any professional member, (MCSFS or FCSFS), with relevant industry experience, who as a practitioner has been certified competent as an Expert Witness, may apply. Applicants can either have demonstrated competence via the CSFS CPC scheme or through their organisation. They should be able to demonstrate attendance at a suitable expert witness training programme (training is available separately should this be required)
What is the process?
In line with other Chartered bodies, the applicant will then be required to demonstrate technical ability (as an Expert Witness) and professional awareness. This will involve two separate panel interviews.
