Darra Singh, current chief executive of Jobcentre Plus, will chair the Communities and Victims Panel, which will explore the causes of the disorder.
Singh was previously chief executive of Ealing Council, an area affected by rioting, and was the first chair of London’s Serious Youth Violence Board, a two-year project set up in late 2008.
The Communities and Victims Panel has been tasked with finding out why people took part in the riots and why the riots happened in some areas and not others.
It will also look at how key public services engaged with communities before, during and after the riots; what motivated local people to come together to take civic action to resist riots; and how communities can be made more socially and economically resilient in the future to prevent future problems.
