Board

The Board, which replaced the Governing Council and the Executive Board with effect of 24 November 2006, lies at the heart of who we are. It meets three times a year to decide strategy and priorities, and to set policy on major issues.

The Chairman of the Board is Professor David Croisdale-Appleby, who is a Professor at the Wolfson Research Institute; the School of Medicine & Health, University of Durham, and of Corporate Strategy at Durham Business School.

The Board comprises representatives of:

  • the justice system and legal community,
  • forensic practitioners and their employers,
  • professional regulation and standards bodies,
  • the general public (lay members).


Some of the members are nominated by government agencies. We have appointed some in consultation with professional organisations. Some members have no direct connection with the forensic world and were chosen to broaden our perspective. And others have been elected by our registrants to represent their interests.

The Memorandum & Articles of Association detail the rules governing the function, activities and composition of CRFP The Standing Orders cover Board business and other administrative matters.

The Board meets three times a year. You can view the agendas and minutes here.
