Facial reconstruction is an important area and controversial area of forensic science that can help investigators identify unknown individuals and, ultimately, provide answers to families who are searching for their loved ones. Beyond the science, the work can help restore dignity to people who have died and support the process of understanding what happened to them. By combining knowledge of human anatomy, anthropology and forensic investigation, facial reconstruction can provide vital clues that may help bring identity, recognition and closure to families.
This is a full-day event that takes place on the College site, so you will use your usual transport and have lunch as normal
