From recent incidents to recurring risks: lessons from the HRS

What do the latest six months of SEAH reporting tell us? And what happens when we compare those findings against more than 1,000 incidents reported over three years? This resource explores both: a snapshot of trends from October 2025 to March 2026, and the recurring patterns that continue to emerge across the aid sector – along with practical actions organisations can take to address them.
From child safeguarding and trusted reporting pathways to workplace culture, oversight of outsourced personnel, victim/survivor support, and investigation capacity, the findings point to a number of recurring challenges that continue to shape SEAH risks and responses across the humanitarian and development sectors. The resource goes beyond identifying problems, offering practical recommendations to help organisations translate evidence into action.
