Decisions made about the Rycroft Review, within the scope of its terms of reference, are a matter for the independent reviewer and his team.

The review team’s email address is published online alongside the terms of reference here.

The review findings will be delivered to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government and the Security Minister by the end of March 2026.
