Abstract
The ability of any laboratory offering paternity tests to correctly assign relationship is an essential attribute that needs to be tested by a quality control programme. Such a programme could involve regular internal laboratory testing of blinded samples and involvement in an external testing programme. Since 1991 members of the English Speaking Working Group (ESWG) of the International Society for Forensic Haemogenetics (ISFH) have organised and participated in an annual Paternity Testing Workshop that fulfils the latter requirement in part. The exercise was not intended, however, to be concerned only with proficiency, but also to provide a forum for the discussion of paternity related topics, whether it be current and developing methodology, anomalous results or measurement variation, at the annual ESWG meeting. On behalf of the ESWG we present below a report of the last four workshops.
