The DSI/PIP One-day Workshop is an essential course for all those in a management or investigative role within a Professional Standards Department, who may have to deal with a DSI, and any associated Post Incident Procedure.

The Police Service in England and Wales is legally obliged to ensure deaths that occur following direct or indirect contact with the police are robustly and transparently investigated.  This intensive course will cover what does, and does not, constitute a ‘DSI’, how it must be investigated and the interaction with the IOPC and Coroner in their respective independent scrutiny roles.

This is not just a course about deaths in custody, it covers the full remit of deaths to be referred to the IOPC and follows the journey from discovery, through investigation and on to judicial scrutiny, be that in a Coroner’s Court or elsewhere.

Facilitated by a former Head of PSD  this course will draw on his significant experience in the field to ensure students achieve the greatest possible understanding of the issues involved to be able to confidently conduct transparent, effective investigations and engage positively with statutory partners and families of the deceased.
