Helping improve the outcomes of child care investigations.

Forensic Testing Service (FTS) was founded in 2009 and specialises in comprehensive forensic drug and alcohol investigations, providing expert analysis tailored for legal proceedings.  Unlike routine testing labs, FTS offers in-depth evaluations that ensure accurate interpretations, reducing the risk of misleading results. Their advanced approach is crucial for reliable, evidence-based decisions in family court cases.

FTS supports social services teams with court-approved laboratory drug, alcohol and DNA testing in safeguarding and childcare cases. Their services are used by local authorities across the UK to help inform decisions where the safety and welfare of children and vulnerable individuals is paramount.

They understand the pressures faced by social services professionals, including the need to act quickly, proportionately and fairly, often within challenging timeframes. FTS provides forensic analysis designed to support complex decision-making rather than simple screening. With all results and background context interpreted and aligned with evidential standards required in legal proceedings.

Their approach prioritises safeguarding, accuracy and fairness. Testing is delivered as part of a full forensic investigation, supported by expert interpretation and dedicated case management, helping social services teams make informed, defensible decisions based on a balance of probabilities.
