The Forensic Archaeology Expert Register and Panel (FAEP) has been established by the CIfA Board of Directors and operates independently of the Forensic Archaeology Special Interest Group constitution. The panel take contributions from the group committee on significant areas of discussion.
The remit of the FAEP is to:
- consider (and, if appropriate, take steps to implement) mechanisms for accrediting
and/or regulating the work of those acting or seeking to act as expert witnesses - consider and discuss issues arising in the course of such work
- liaise with Her Majesty’s Government, the Forensic Science Regulator and any other
relevant bodies or individuals with regard to such issues
