The Independent Expert Panel (the Panel) was established in 2020 to provide an effective and independent process for determining complaints of bullying, harassment or sexual misconduct brought against Members of Parliament under Parliament's Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS). In 2022 its remit was expanded to cover appeals related to breaches of the wider Code of Conduct for MPs. The Independent Expert Panel Members consider matters that are complex, high- profile, high-consequence and sensitive. Their work must be carried out to the highest degree of confidentiality, even though the system itself may be subject to the scrutiny of the media and the public. Consequently, the Panel brings a range of experience and expertise that command the respect and confidence of the public and all parts of the Parliamentary community. Due to the ending of terms of a number of existing members of the Panel in late 2026, the House of Commons is seeking to appoint 4 new Panel members. Panel Members play a pivotal part in ensuring that complaints of bullying, harassment, sexual misconduct, and serious breaches of the MPs' Code of Conduct are addressed through a process that is fair, rigorous and entirely independent. You will review substantial and often sensitive evidence, sit on small sub panels to determine outcomes or hear appeals, and exercise sound judgement in matters that attract significant public and parliamentary scrutiny. The role demands absolute integrity, discretion, and the resilience to handle cases of high complexity and impact. Applicants must have extensive experience of making decisions in highly complex and sensitive cases, and the ability to act impartially in reaching their conclusions. They must have proven success in analysing large volumes of information, applying complex codes and policy frameworks, combined with the judgement to relate them appropriately and fairly to real life situations. They must be resilient and confident in making decisions of the highest importance based on evidence from investigations. We would be interested in receiving applications both from former members of the judiciary or those with experience of tribunals and professional disciplinary bodies; and from those with other relevant expertise including human resources, ombudsmen, law and dealing with cases of bullying or sexual harassment in the workplace. All candidates will be required to demonstrate in their written applications and at interview how their life experience has equipped them to meet the requirements of the role. The criteria that will be used to assess whether candidates have the required knowledge, experience, skills and qualities as set out in the Person Specification. Candidates who wish to be considered as Independent Expert Panel Members should respond to essential criteria as far as they are able, and to the personal qualities and skills via an online questionnaire.
