75th Anniversary

Webinars Section UK is running a series of webinars for its members and to attract non-members to join the organisation. W e had the pleasure recently of longstanding IPA member Mark O’Donoghue, who currently works at the National Police Chiefs Council and has an extensive policing career. Mark has many skills and his latest webinar covered the benefits of mentoring and coaching. A webinar on 27 August was attended by over 20 policing colleagues and members from UK & International sections. Mark covered the differences in mentoring and coaching and bringing to life with personal experiences. This included his mentoring experience through the IPA SHEisIPA international mentoring process. Where Mark has been a mentor for a colleague from Royal Gibraltar Police service. With a healthy question & answer session the audience was engaged and those who attended benefited from Mark’s presentation. Thank you to Mark who kindly plans to do more webinar content for the IPA in the future. Please see the events page of the website for current scheduled webinars. If you have any ideas or would like to present at a future webinar please contact Professional Development VP Kieran English.
