Best Practice and Implementation
One of the key weaknesses in the chain of custody for a sample is at the
point of collection: in a recent case the donor's doctor was asked to
take the sample but did not realise the person in front of him was not
the person that she claimed to be. The subsequent test that was carried
out on the sample was therefore invalidated. TrichoTech provides collectors
who are trained in the strictest chain of custody methods (including the
requirements for identification that the donor is genuine) and in cutting
a lock of hair sufficient for analysis. We charge for this service but
it has rapidly become the option of choice for many of our clients as
it guarantees an efficient, quick and reliable outcome. More

Seminars on Drug Testing
We provide training and information seminars to lawyers, clerks, judges,
social care services and other professionals in child protection and family
casework that outline and explain the strengths and - just as importantly
- the limitations of drug-testing. Recent seminars took place in Sheffield,
Manchester, Harrogate, Cardiff, Glasgow and London and all received high
commendations and very positive feedback. These seminars are non-commercial.
If you are involved with a Family Court Forum, a Lawyers group
or social care/services organisation and would like to book a seminar
or presentation please contact our team on 029 2054 7084 or email
