The Forensic Science Society (FSSoc) is an international professional society based in the UK. It was founded in 1959 and is one of the oldest and largest forensic associations in the world. The main aim of the society is to encourage communication and collaboration by providing an arena in which forensic practitioners, researchers, academics and those working in related fields can congregate, communicate and invoke development of areas such as best practice, research, publication, quality and ethics in forensic casework. In 2004, the Forensic Science Society became a professional body, and the voice for Forensic Practitioners, both in the UK and abroad.

The FSSoc promotes scholarship and education through a quarterly newsletter, one of the oldest journals in the field, Science & Justice as well as an international accreditation program.[1]

As of receiving a Royal Charter on October 2013,[2] sealed on the 17th of January 2014,[3] the Forensic Science Society has since been renamed to 'The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences'.
