<p>The Government published a Written Ministerial Statement (HLWS527) and Charter
for the Commission for Countering Extremism on gov.uk in March 2018. They confirm
the Commission’s purpose, remit, accountabilities, and early outputs. In its first
year the Commission will:</p><ul><li>engage widely and openly on extremism and our
core, shared values across the public sector, communities, civil society, families
and legal and academic experts;</li><li>publish a study into the threat we face from
extremism and the current response; and,</li><li>advise ministers on the Commission’s
future structures, work programme and the appointment of further commissioners.</li></ul><p>This
advice is expected in March 2019.The Charter also confirms that the Commission is
a transparent organisation operating independently from Government. The Commission
will determine the content of its reports, the recommendations it makes to Government
and its public statements, including the timing of these, independently.</p><p>The
detail of when the Commission will publish the terms of reference for its study is
a matter for the Commission but we understand it will be published shortly.</p>
