Criteria for holding disciplinary hearings in public (pdf 22k)
Under Regulation 30 of the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2004, where the IPCC has carried out an independent investigation of a complaint or conduct matter, it may direct that all or part of the resulting police disciplinary hearing should be held in public because the Commission ‘considers that because of its gravity or other exceptional circumstances it would be in the public interest to do so…’. These criteria provide further detail as to how the IPCC will exercise this power under the legislation.

Casework Manual
In this section you will find the IPCC Casework Manual published in line with our commitment to openness. The Casework Manuals provides guidance to our Casework Managers who are responsible for handling important aspects of the complaints procedures. Casework Managers are expected to apply the guidelines in the Manuals. The guidance cannot cover every eventuality and there may be cases when the circumstances of a case justify decisions or actions outside of the guidelines.
Changes to our practices and procedures will be updated in the Manuals on a regular basis.
