"WELLCOME" TO FORENSICS – is a six week programme with one three hour session per week from 7th November for six weeks. It is free for adult members of the public and is funded through the Wellcome Trust and WEA. We believe, and we think you will agree, this is going to be a one off chance to have fun and do something really interesting.

The venue for the programme will be Think Forensic’s dedicated Crime Scene Centre in Skelmanthorpe, Huddersfield and each session will run from 10am to 1pm. If you do want to enroll you must be prepared to make your own way to the venue HD8 9DRand must sign up to all six sessions.

The sessions will be run by Think Forensic’s own staff so you will meet and talk to Forensic scientists, CSI’s, senior investigating officers and crime investigation officers all of whom have worked in the field.

Each week we will look at a different topic and we have put a basic outline of the programme below, however we may change this depending on our staff availability.

Session 1 Introduction to course and forensics:

Session 2 Forensic techniques and the science behind them

Session 3 Anthropology, entomology and archaeology

Session 4 Witnesses and interview skills

Session 5 Forensic psychology - profiling

Session 6 Culmination of course - Crime scene investigation and evidence analysis

This final session will see you examining crime scenes including identifying, recording, collecting and packaging evidence authentically. Liaising between teams with radios to pass on relevant information and once scenes are processed you will analyse the evidence and decide on courses of action and investigation to solve the crime.

Please register your interest below and we will be in touch to let you know if you have been successful in securing a place. Please note you must be able to attend all 6 sessions and must be able to travel to HD8 9DR.
