The most serious misconduct allegations must be referred immediately by forces to the IOPC for consideration and investigation at the IOPC’s discretion. The Government has undertaken to review the effectiveness of the IOPC later this year. The Home Affairs Committee published its own assessment of police conduct and complaints in March 2022. The Government has said in response that it will review the impact of its 2020 reforms in line with post legislative scrutiny guidance.
