The Department is currently undertaking reviews in the following areas:

  • The quality and effectiveness of the audit and financial reporting of local authorities in England, led by Sir Tony Redmond;
  • How Government can best engage with faith communities, led by Colin Bloom;
  • Antisemitism, led by Lord Mann; and
  • Fair funding Review for how funding is allocated and redistributed between local authorities.

The Department has also recently undertaken a number of significant reviews. This includes Dame Judith Hackitt’s Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, which the Government has committed to taking forward its recommendations. The Building Better Building Beautiful Commission also recently published its final report, which can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/living-with-beauty-report-of-the-building-better-building-beautiful-commission.
