You’ll often see legal observers at demonstrations wearing bright orange bibs marked “Legal Observer”. Despite having no official status, legal observers have a role recognised by bodies from the Courts to the United Nations.
Our standard Legal Observer training is very comprehensive, covering:
Monitoring arrests
Stop & Search law & procedure
Arrestee support
How to provide good witnesses and nail inappropriate policing

Whether you’re in a group or attending as an individual, this extensive training offers you important skills to support activists.
