Kilkenny People (Republic of Ireland) 1/7/2022 News Helping SARCs with ‘real world’ environmental monitoring standards There are 55 Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) in England and Wales providing specialist medical and forensic services to the victims of rape and sexual assault. They’re currently expected to meet similar standards of environmental monitoring as DNA laboratories. This is a very high bar and places considerable pressure on the SARC services. There are significant differences in working practice and environments between a SARC and a DNA laboratory and holding SARCs to similar monitoring standards risk consistent failures of compliance, resulting in the SARC having to close for cleaning and additional environmental testing. As well as costing money and resources, any closure could potentially have a serious impact on victims. Being forced to travel to a SARC further from home could prolong the trauma and increase the risk of someone deciding not to go ahead with a forensic medical examination. Any delay also reduces the window for gathering forensic evidence. To influence change to the current SARC environmental monitoring criteria’s the FCN has been working with SARCs and academic colleagues to study environmental monitoring practices.
