Honours forfeiture for CSA convictions
Recommendation
The criteria for forfeiture of all honours must be formally extended to include convictions, cautions and cases decided by trial of the facts involving offences of child sexual abuse. This must be set out in a published policy and procedure, which must include a clear policy on how forfeiture decisions are made public. The Inquiry expects the Forfeiture Committee to take a lead on this matter.

On 30 September 2021, the Cabinet Office updated its guidance in relation to honours forfeiture. Anybody convicted of a sexual offence will be considered for forfeiture regardless of the sentence they receive. Anybody found to have committed a sexual offence following a 'trial of the facts' will also be considered.
