Introduction to drones and associated laws

£250.00

A live virtual training course tailored for local councils and parish representatives.
This accessible session helps councils understand the rising impact of drones on communities and how to respond lawfully and effectively.

You’ll learn about the types of drones in use, key UK laws governing their operation, and core airspace safety principles. The course explores real-world examples of drone misuse—such as trespass, surveillance, and anti-social behaviour—and how these can affect local authority land, public spaces, vulnerable individuals, and those responsible for their protection.

We’ll also clarify what powers councils do—and don’t—have regarding drones and airspace breaches. Understand your responsibilities under civil and criminal law, how they align with police and aviation authorities, and practical routes to improve local safety and accountability.
