Standards for England cases
This section contains summaries of investigations we have completed. We do not publish summaries of allegations that are not investigated, cases that are still in progress or investigations carried out by local authorities.
Case summaries do not remain on our site forever. The length of time they remain on the site is determined by the outcome of the investigation and, where appropriate, the hearing:
- if there is no evidence of a breach, the summary is removed six months after the case is closed
- if the Code has been breached, but no further action needs to be taken, the summary is removed two years after the case is closed
- if the case is referred to the Adjudication Panel for England or a local standards committee, the summary is removed two years after the case is closed, or two years after the end of any sanction if one is imposed
- if the ethical standards officer issues a direction to the authority's monitoring officer to take other action (and has made no finding of fact about the alleged conduct), the summary is removed two years from the date the direction for other action is issued.
