We have noted a slight change in the profile of who raises concerns with CIRAS, with depot staff entering the top five job roles.
We're starting to form a picture of what our top six reporting themes have been for 2025/26. Unsafe practices has returned strongly as a theme, matching its count in 2024/25, and could potentially overtake the previous year. Examples of this theme include tasks being carried out in depots that were not properly assessed for the depot environment.
The perceived root cause category 'processes and procedures' has almost matched the share of reports it had in 2024/25 (currently 7% for 2025/26 and 8% for 2024/25). There was a soft cluster of these reports occurring in depots. One report discussed how the culture was discouraging staff from raising concerns about potential defects that fell outside of the scope of examinations.
