Substance misuse has a devastating impact on our lives generally, but of particular concern is the harm that it brings to children’s lives. It puts the lives of children of all ages at risk, even before they are born and if they survive the traumas, their lives are often damaged irreparably.
Since 2009 FTS has grown to a team of 72 employees with our own accredited labs based in West Yorkshire. We have revolutionised the testing process, so that much of the drug and or alcohol abuse that presently goes undetected, including the growing number of new synthetic drugs such as synthetic cannabinoids like ”spice”, can now be detected and reported for all cases.
The majority of local authorities and the family legal sector remain unaware that much of the “scientific” evidence from hair strand testing does not meet the standard of proof required for legal proceedings.
This results in a false confidence and overdependence on it to make decisions. Using this binary approach to report drug test results, in isolation of forensic investigations, is leading to the gravest miscarriages of justice imaginable; the wrongful removal of a child from their parents or leaving a child in a situation likely to cause harm.
By choosing FTS, you can rest assured that the required substance abuse tests are conducted to the highest standards with forensic analysis to ensure the right outcome for your case.
