How to appeal to the Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission if you disagree with a Home Office decision to ban an organisation.

What you can appeal against

You can appeal to the Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission if the Home Office bans an organisation because they believe it’s involved with terrorism.

You must first write to the Home Office to ask for the organisation to be removed from its list of proscribed (banned) groups.

If the Home Office decides to keep it on the list, you can appeal to the commission.

The commission is independent of the government. A judge and other commission members will listen to both sides of the argument before reaching a decision.

How to appeal

Fill in the notice of appeal form.

Include any supporting documents, such as the Home Office decision letter.

Say why you disagree with the ban.
