About this event
The Pitchford Inquiry aims to investigate and report on undercover police operations in political groups and social movements in England and Wales since 1968. Almost two years on from the launch of a planned three-year inquiry, it has become entangled and delayed by legal argument. It is now estimated the Inquiry won't hold its first public hearing until 2019.
At this event, we will discuss a new draft publication by the Centre into the undercover policing of political protest groups and social movements. The publication focuses on the views of some of those who have been subject to this practice.
There will also be presentations on:
- The reviews and inquiries that have taken place into undercover policing revelations, their findings, recommendations and implementation to date. Dr Raphael Schlembach, University of Brighton
- Current practice regarding undercover policing and an overview of current accountability and scrutiny practices. Dr Katerina Hadjimatheou, University of Warwick
- Given the vital role of civil society organisations have been shown to have in holding undercover policing to account, how can these capacities be strengthened and protected in future? Dr James Mehigan, Open University
