The Remaining Events in Our 2026 RIPA, RIPSA & RIPL Webinar Series
The response to our 2026 RIPA, RIPSA & RIPL Bite-sized Webinar Series has exceeded our expectations. The first three webinars were exceptionally well attended, attracting delegates from policing, local authorities, regulatory bodies, prisons, the wider public sector and organisations seeking to be compliant.
More importantly, the feedback has been outstanding, with participants consistently praising the practical nature of the sessions and the relevance of the content to their day-to-day roles.
If you weren't able to join us earlier in the year, there is still time to benefit from the remaining three webinars in the series.
These webinars are practical and NOT Legal Lectures
There is no shortage of training that explains what the legislation says.
Our approach is different.
These webinars are built around the reality of operational investigations. Rather than simply examining legislation or case law, we explore what RIPA, RIPSA and RIPL actually mean in practice, drawing on decades of real operational experience in covert law enforcement, intelligence and investigations.
Whether you work in law enforcement, a local authority, a prison, a regulator or another organisation that relies on covert powers, you'll leave each session with practical knowledge that you can immediately apply in your role.
Each webinar lasts just 2 hours, is delivered live via Microsoft Teams, and costs just £69 + VAT per person.

RIPA/RIPSA/RIPL & Online Research – Where are the Boundaries?
Online research has become an everyday investigative tool, but many practitioners remain unsure where lawful digital enquiries end and covert activity begins.
This practical session examines the legal and operational boundaries surrounding online research, helping delegates understand when activity remains overt, when expectations of privacy arise, and when investigators should begin considering a RIPA, RIPSA or RIPL authorisation.
By the end of the session, delegates will have greater confidence in carrying out online enquiries lawfully while recognising the circumstances that require formal authorisation.

RIPA/RIPSA/RIPL – How it Can Assist Investigations
Too often, RIPA, RIPSA and RIPL are viewed simply as legislation that restricts investigators.
In reality, when properly understood, they are powerful investigative frameworks that enable organisations to obtain valuable evidence and intelligence lawfully and proportionately.
This webinar demonstrates how covert powers can support investigations, create opportunities and strengthen enquiries while remaining compliant with legal, ethical and operational requirements.

RIPA/RIPSA/RIPL – What is a Covert Human Intelligence Source (CHIS) and What Does it Mean in Practice?
Understanding when someone becomes a CHIS remains one of the most misunderstood aspects of covert investigations.
This webinar explains what a CHIS is, when authorisation becomes necessary, and the responsibilities that follow. We'll explore the practical realities of identifying, managing and safeguarding sources, together with the legal and operational implications for practitioners.
Delegates will leave with a clear understanding of the distinction between information volunteered by an individual and activity that requires formal CHIS authorisation.
Who Should Attend?
These webinars are suitable for professionals working across:
• Police forces
• Local authorities
• Prisons and probation
• Regulatory and enforcement agencies
• Government departments
• Investigators and intelligence practitioners
• Compliance and enforcement teams
Whether you are new to RIPA, RIPSA or RIPL or simply want to refresh and strengthen your knowledge, these sessions provide practical guidance that can be immediately applied within your organisation.
