Forensic Outreach at FACTS
At FACTS, we believe forensic science shouldn’t remain confined to courtrooms or classrooms — it should empower communities. Our outreach initiatives aim to build awareness, promote safety, and make forensic knowledge accessible to all, transforming science into a tool for social good.
Our vision for outreach
To make forensic science a means of empowerment, awareness, and social responsibility — enabling individuals across all walks of life to understand its vital role in creating a safer and more just society.
What we do
At FACTS, we believe forensic science shouldn’t remain confined to courtrooms or classrooms — it should empower communities. Our outreach initiatives aim to build awareness, promote safety, and make forensic knowledge accessible to all, transforming science into a tool for social good.
- Awareness Programs: Interactive sessions for schools, colleges, NGOs, and community groups on topics such as cyber safety, digital fraud prevention, and understanding forensic evidence.
- Child-Friendly Forensic Camps: Fun and engaging workshops that introduce young learners to the basics of forensic science through games, simulations, and hands-on experiments.
- Corporate Awareness Drives: PoSH and POCSO awareness programs that promote safe, respectful, and legally compliant workplaces through practical and interactive learning.
- Media Engagement: Training sessions for journalists and media professionals to help them report crime responsibly, using accurate forensic terminology and context.
- Academic Collaborations: FACTS now conducts lectures for Master’s students of Social Work at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) - empowering future social workers with essential legal and forensic knowledge to better assess crimes against women and children. This initiative enables them to evaluate cases more effectively and determine how best to assist their clients in the field.
