It will also make recommendations for the future.</p><p>The process for the appointment of the Independent Reviewer of Prevent was published on 27 April 2020. A fair and open competition to appoint the next Independent Reviewer invited applicants to demonstrate their independence, expertise, credibility, written and analytical skills, and resilience. A panel, led by an independent chair, convened to assess each application against the essential criteria and decide who to recommend to Ministers for interview.<em> </em>Following the interviews, the panel’s advice on the appointable candidates was sent to Ministers for a decision on who to appoint. Ministers found that Mr Shawcross met these criteria and possessed the right range of skills and experience to conduct this important Review. To protect the confidentially of candidates, details of applications are only shared with relevant stakeholders in the recruitment process. The appointment was completed in accordance with the Governance Code on Public Appointments, which sets out the regulatory framework for public appointments processes. It is not part of that process to consult external bodies in advance of the appointment being made.</p><p>As Mr Shawcross has accepted the appointment, he is responsible for the conduct and recommendations of the Independent Review. The Home Secretary cannot predetermine the findings of the Review.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse grouped question UIN 145137 145138 question first answered 02/02/2021 16:46:57 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
