Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) 11/11/2025 Report Report of the Independent Commission on Counter-Terrorism Law, Policy and Practice The Independent Commission on UK Counter-Terrorism Law, Policy and Practice was established to assess whether the UK’s counter-terrorism framework remains effective, proportionate consistent with democratic principles and able to meet the changing nature of the terrorist threats the UK faces. Over 200 experts and stakeholders contributed evidence, including senior practitioners, policymakers, academics, parliamentarians, and representatives from civil society and affected communities. Over three years (2022-2025), the Commission examined how law, policy, and operational practice support the government’s counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST’s objective of reducing the risk to the UK from terrorism, so that people can go about their lives freely and with confidence. Counter-terrorism measures inevitably affect the openness and cohesion of society as well as its security. To remain legitimate and effective, they must command public confidence, adhere to the Rule of Law, and comply with the UK’s international obligations. Policies perceived as unfair or disproportionate undermine cooperation and trust, particularly among the communities whose engagement is most essential to prevention. Effective counter-terrorism therefore depends on accountability, transparency, and meaningful participation in policy design. Understanding how these measures are experienced across different groups—including by age, gender, class, race, religion, and immigration status—is critical to sustaining public legitimacy and operational success. The Commission’s report makes 113 recommendations across 18 chapters. Together, they provide a coherent framework to enhance effectiveness, strengthen oversight, and reinforce the principles of fairness and accountability that underpin public trust in the UK’s counter-terrorism system.
