Guides

Our guides are designed to help support you in dealing with the police.

We are not lawyers. The information in these guides comes from our collective experience in supporting people in protest situations, and is offered in solidarity. It is not formal legal advice, and should not be treated as such. The list also includes links to some guides on external websites from partners including Netpol.

We are in the process of re-formatting existing guides and writing new ones for this website. Keep checking back to see what is new, and let us know if things don’t work as they should.
