This section requires the Secretary of State to prepare a report about the operation, in the review period (being 3 years after the provisions are commenced), of the provisions of new Chapter 3A of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 (i.e. new sections 44A to 44F relating to victim third party material requests), in relation to requests for counselling information ("counselling information requests). The Secretary of State may arrange for another person to prepare the report.
	The report must be published and laid before parliament as soon as is reasonably practicable after the end of the review period (i.e. 3 years after the provisions are commenced). This will enable the effectiveness of the additional safeguards applicable to requests for counselling information to be reviewed.
