Infidelity - Consent Issues

There are two issues of consent, to be considered, before you make a decision on whether to pursue a "scientific" investigation.

  • If you are considering sending in items of clothing (or any other items) that do not actually belong to you, then you need to get the consent of the "owner" of the item(s) and confirm this in writing to us, before you send the items it. We know that this makes a difficult situation even more difficult, but if you do not gain consent to take items and send them to us, then this could be construed as theft.

  • If you wish to have any DNA that could potentially be present on an item, analysed / profiled, then it is now a legal requirement, under the Human Tissue Act 2004, that we have the consent of the originator of that DNA, before any analysis is undertaken.

We realise that these consent issues are difficult to deal with, in the context of your investigation into potential infidelity, however, they are legal requirements and we can't proceed without these consents being granted.
