Consultation on standards
and governance

The standards and governance model are proposals. Meaningful consultation will be needed before they are adopted or services begin.

No consultation papers or approved standards have been published yet. When available, documents will carry version numbers, publication dates and clear status labels so readers can distinguish proposals from adopted rules.

We welcome perspectives from people with lived experience, Muslim religious professionals, institutions, safeguarding specialists and the wider public.
