The independent review panel recommended that all stakeholders should focus on the following key areas:
- identification of the role and responsibilities of the BEF
- establishing strong leadership to effect change
- to maintain good governance, including the adoption of a Code of Conduct.
BEF Interim Chair Ed Warner said of the report:
"It is now a priority for the BEF, which is under the leadership of both a new board of directors and executive management, to learn lessons from the past and ensure appropriate practices in future".
