Reporting data insights: periods 1–11 2025/26

We share insights from reports to CIRAS in the 2025/26 financial year.

There has been no change in the profile of job roles that report concerns to CIRAS.

Person's environment remains the top reported theme. This is being driven by reports that discuss personal safety issues caused by lone working.

Rostering is third in our list of what reporters tell us they perceive to be the root cause of their concern, and has returned to the same level as in 2023/24. We use the category Rostering where reporters believe either the design of a roster, travel times (to and from work), or a resourcing issue is the cause of their concern. Fatigue is not in our top six reporting themes, despite a commonly assumed link between rostering and fatigue, because not every report with this perceived root cause leads to fatigue. In some scenarios, rostering issues could lead to processes not being carried out at all because the designated person is not available. In others, staff are stepped up to fill a gap, but without being suitably trained.
