Summary

The Strategy Directorate is a central function bringing together Private Office, Parliamentary and legislative affairs, sponsorship of inquiries, arm’s length bodies and entities, delivery oversight, policy development and strategy.

The Angiolini Inquiry is a three-part, non-statutory inquiry. The Team was established in November 2021 and immediately began work on Part 1, investigating an off-duty Metropolitan police officer. In February 2023, the Inquiry’s remit was broadened to include the case of former PC David Carrick (Part 3). Following a public consultation, the Terms of Reference for Part 2 of the Inquiry were published by the Home Secretary in May 2023. The Part 1 Report was published in February 2024. The Inquiry is now working on Parts 2&3.

The Inquiry carries out its work in different ways, including through desk-based research, interviews, and other forms of engagement with individuals and organisations affected by issues set out in its Terms of Reference.

Part 2 of the Inquiry focuses on whether systems, policies and processes for the recruitment, vetting and transfer of police officers are fit for purpose and help to identify those who display misogynistic and/or predatory attitudes and behaviours; the extent to which aspects of police culture observed across police forces enable misogynistic and/or predatory attitudes and behaviours and the role of standards; and the extent to which existing measures prevent sexually motivated crimes against women in public spaces. Part 3 of the Inquiry examines the career and actions of former police officer David Carrick.
