Advance Notice
The BAFO annual conference will take place in Newcastle on the 3rd and 4th of November 2017.
As usual there is a varied and interesting program. This year we have invited several international guest speakers to provide a different point of view, including a man who spent 33 years in prison in the US on evidence including a bite mark, who was exonerated using modern DNA techniques. Not to be missed.
