This year’s Post Incident Procedure (PIP) Seminar will focus on the journey of the Key Police Witness (KPW) - exploring the emotional toll, potential legal vulnerabilities, and how we can better support those involved.

We’ll also highlight the critical role of the Federation Representative, with welfare and well-being at the heart of the process.

Whether you're new to PIP or looking to deepen your understanding, this seminar offers valuable insights and practical takeaways.

The seminar will be facilitated by Leigh Godfrey, PIP Lead at Police Federation of England and Wales.
