The links between RIPA, CPIA and DPA

Course Outline:

Our half day course will look at links between RIPA, CPIA and DPA of legislation and how they apply to your organisation.

If you work in any investigative role where you use the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) or comply with the requirements of the Criminal procedures & Investigations Act (CPIA) regarding disclosure then you need to be aware of how the material that you obtain is bound by the Data Protection Act 2018.

Until now, the links between these pieces of legislation have not been clear. The Investigatory Powers Commissioner's Office (IPCO) undertaking the inspections of public authorities are also now looking at compliance with the Data Protection Act as part of the Data Assurance Programme. Failing to comply can result in adverse reports or event being reported to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) for failing to act in accordance with the data protection legislation.
