The Forensic Science Regulator (FSR) in consultation with key stakeholder groups has developed the draft “Forensic medical examination standard for adult and child sexual assault complainants”. An associated self-assessment questionnaire has been included in the draft.
The FSR has issued a call for a review of the standard, by technical specialists, individual stakeholders, and interested parties.
All comments will be given due consideration before finalising the standard.
