Independent Review of Disclosure and Fraud Offences
Part 1: Disclosure - April 2024
1. In October 2023, the Home Secretary appointed me to undertake an Independent Review of Disclosure and Fraud Offences. I was asked to undertake that review in two parts and since that time I have been focussed on Part 1 which relates to the criminal disclosure regime.
2. In these preliminary findings, I shall outline the themes that have emerged from the evidence gathering phase of my review, and which I intend to develop in my final report to the Home Secretary. In addition, I have begun the process of seeking to identify measures which might improve the way in which the disclosure process operates.
