We shared an update yesterday that the external review has been extended to June 28, 2024.
This independent review, completed by Ms. Rezaie, requires additional time to ensure that all processes are thoroughly fair and duly followed.
For reference, our previous update can be found in the Terms of Reference, published on January 10, 2024, which anticipated an earlier conclusion by March 29, 2024, later adjusted to late April. All previous updates have been published below.
We appreciate your understanding as we look to uphold the highest standards of accountability and transparency.

The Board of Trustees recently announced the appointment of Ghazaleh Rezaie, a barrister from 12 Kings Bench Walk Chambers, to independently investigate allegations of misconduct. We believe that all stakeholders should be able to access the Terms of Reference for the investigation and that is why it is being published in full below.
A deadline of 22 January 2024 has been set for people to be able to contact the investigation enquiries@independent-investigation.com. We are committed to establishing a clear account of the events and identify lessons to be learned based on the findings. We would encourage anybody, including all staff, students, parents and alumni to use this email address to contact Ms Rezaie.
