Independent review

An independent review mechanism occurs where:

* A state of affairs prevails that is deemed uncertain, unacceptable or dubious.
* A long-standing practice or way of doing things needs improving.
* A decision is made that requires objective review.

If a state of affairs or a contentious decision has been taken by an individual, or agency, it may need to be reviewed by an independent, uninvolved and unbiased party in order to ensure that the decision is balanced, fair and just. Independent review offers the opportunity for decisions to be reconsidered. This may be because some consider that the original decision was not right or the decision made was unique and therefore caused controversy.

Whatever the reason for the cause of a review, the reviewer – who can be an individual, government agency or a group of people – must not in any way be connected to the cause or consequences of the decision they are reviewing and must not have been beneficiaries of its outcome.

Unlawful business practices occur in all walks of life. Some company activities may be deemed anti-competitive and potentially put companies at risk of breaking competition law. If this occurs, those companies may be breaking the law and risk significant consequences, such as heavy fines, director disqualifications and even imprisonment, not to mention reputational damage. When such activities have taken place, the companies in question may need to face an independent review.

Reviewers can be government agencies, committees or individuals who make a living from conducting independent reviews for organisations and bodies. They may engage in activities such as undertaking independent customer complaints reviews or may be working as an independent reviewer for a chartered body.

The UK government has an independent review mechanism for fostering and adoption. This comprises panels that review decisions made by adoption and fostering providers. In education, independent review panels (IRP) exist to ensure that a decision to uphold an exclusion (of a student) was impartial and independent.

Independent reviews are also necessary in the construction industry. In one such instance from February 2016, the government asked the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) to conduct an independent review of:

* The UK’s construction industry labour model and
* The skills, pressures and other constraints that limit housebuilding and infrastructure development in the UK.

The CLC commissioned Mark Farmer to undertake the review. Part of the objective was to remove the barriers that prevented more young people from considering a career in construction. The result of the review was a report called ‘The Farmer Review of the UK Construction Labour which investigated the current labour model and proposed actions to safeguard the industry’s future.
