The dedicated Taskforce consists of approximately 150 staff can be flexibly deployed as the need arises.

Of the network of 50 senior caseworkers, 22 are new positions within the Chief Casework Unit. The remainder of the unit is made up of existing senior caseworkers embedded within business areas, to support colleagues in making complex case decisions.

The terms of reference and methodology for the lessons learned review were published on 19 July. The terms, which have been approved by the review’s independent adviser Wendy Williams, also state that the intention is for the report to be published by 31 March 2019.
