RIPA and Social Media Webinar
Social media is used for both personal and business purposes. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many others are a rich source of background information, intelligence and evidence.
Investigators, regulators, enforcement officers, carers, and internal investigators have found themselves being drawn to viewing social media, either as a result of their own activities, or directed by information provided by the public.
Social media profiles and posts are likely to consist of personal data or private information, and it is easy to overlook compliance requirements in relation to Data Protection and RIPA, particularly if regular monitoring of such sites is being undertaken. It is also easy to severely restrict the legitimate use of social media for investigation and other purposes for fear of breaching Data Protection or RIPA.
This webinar refers to the relevant RIPA codes of practice so the likelihood that a RIPA surveillance or CHIS authorisation is required can be addressed, and proper scrutiny is more likely to confirm RIPA may not apply to certain activity.
IPCO have clear expectations of records of use of social media, and these form part of the conduct of an inspection. The management of personal data requires compliance with the Data Protection Act.
This webinar provides practical advise and an action plan for using overt and covert profiles, and the recommended training and records requirements.

I would highly recommend the GDPR Practitioner Course. The Tutor was extremely knowledgeable and gave plenty of chance for group conversation or individual questions. A great course for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of GDPR and understand putting the principles into practise.

I learned so much! The course was just the right balance of theory and practical, and was very well delivered.

The course was very useful as an IG Officer. The trainer was knowledgeable and explained some complex aspects of the legislation using interesting examples and real life scenarios. As a refresher, even with lots of work experience behind me, it was very useful to undertake the Practitioner course. The course materials and handbook are invaluable and I know I will re-use them in conjunction with my usual resources.

A very practical and all-encompassing coverage of the UK GDPR provided over 4 days. Although 4 days is not enough time to cover this whole subject in depth, there was just enough covered with further resources and links provided within the sessions to cover all aspects of the GDPR to a level at which I now feel a lot more confident in my role. Thank you, Kirsty!
