Use of Surveillance Powers - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 and The Investigatory Powers Act 2016
The Council’s Regulation of
Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) Policy must be considered by
elected members annually to set the Policy and to ensure that if
the Council is using its RIPA powers, it is doing so appropriately
and complying with its own Code of Practice when carrying out
covert surveillance.
The Council has not exercised these powers for a number of years
but must ensure that it has the appropriate policy and training in
place should the need to arise to use them. The Policy was approved
by members in January 2024. There have been no amendments since
then.
