The NDNADEG was established in 2007 as an advisory non-departmental public body to provide independent advice to ministers and the National DNA Database Strategy Board on ethical issues concerning the operation of the National DNA Database.

The NDNADEG considered a number of important issues during 2016, including:

  • the use of next generation sequencing technologies
  • a pilot project on the international exchange of DNA
  • the development of a set of high level ethical principles for stakeholders
  • the retention and use of custody images
  • the role of forensics in achieving criminal justice outcomes
  • developments in rapid DNA and Y-Short Tandem Repeat technologies
  • ground-truth databases
  • DNA paternity testing for child maintenance cases
