Oliver Schick-
They’ve provided a special reference number to pass on to insurers or a solicitor and I have asked if they can confirm which offences exactly were listed on the NIP (because I’m curious).
It sounds like next steps depend on whether or not they hear from the owner (who has 28 days to respond to the NIP) and whether or not they declare that the owner was driving or nominate someone else. If it’s someone else another NIP is issued and they have a further 28 days to respond.
If I don’t hear from the officer after 28 days since the first NIP was issued I’ll give them a nudge.

Thank you @Constable_Savage and @Oliver Schick. I did some chasing, first by emailing an officer who I had corresponded with in relation to a different incident a few years ago. They then referred me to the unit that likely would be investigating, and eventually I had a very helpful conversation with someone who could access the report and investigation info.
Turns out, the investigating officer issued a NIP on the 24th November and for whatever reason this wasn't communicated to me. I have an email address and phone number for them now if I want any further updates.
Interestingly, during my efforts to chase this up I was assured that even if the 14 days have elapsed they can issue a different form instead of a NIP(...?)
