Welcome to

The Detective Project

Jenny Williams was a detective with the Metropolitan Police and Avon & Somerset Constabulary for 14 years. She saw an opportunity to use her hard-earned skills and experience to offer something new and exciting for kid’s parties. An initial trial party for her own children proved hugely successful and shortly afterwards CSI Kids was born.

Jenny then worked with teachers to develop forensic science workshops that were aligned to national curriculum objectives. This lead to work with primary and secondary schools, holiday clubs and youth groups, in developing children’s interest in science through hands-on forensic challenges.

After repeated requests for an adults version, the format was adapted for adult workshops and powerful team building events, with great results.

In 2013 the franchise opportunity was launched and The Detective Project is growing steadily as we select the right people to join the team.

Testimonials heading background

Detective party

I wanted to say that I received VERY enthusiastic feedback from parents after the party. Children were apparently telling parents the types of finger prints they (and their families) had and regaling them with stories about toxic mushrooms over supper- it clearly made a real impression on them and hopefully helped them to link their learning with real world work!

Cubs Science Badge Workshop

Thanks again for yesterday evening it was great and the cubs really enjoyed it.

Company event

“Good fun with no obvious conclusion, very engaging”

“Best bit – searching for evidence.  Engaging and fun. 10/10”

Comment from the feedback forms at Berwick Lodge Hotel.

THANK YOU!

K Daniels, Bristol

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the fabulous party for Olivia on Sat. We were all so impressed at how quickly you had them all under control and totally in awe of what you were saying. I wish I had that effect on them – you should have heard the increased noise levels within five minutes of your departure!

It was lovely to see them all so engaged and hear all the stories afterwards. Even Isabella was busy telling me all about her finding of evidence and theories on Sun morning. Olivia even filled in her Brownie record book with a photo and description of it all on Mon evening. We have been singing your praises to the teachers at school!

Thank you again for a brilliant and inspired event. I will be recommending you to the school also.
