Annual Report February 2026: summary update
Published 25 February 2026
This annex sets out progress updates against each of the Inquiry’s recommendations, including the actions completed to date and the upcoming milestones to completion. The information combines both progress against recommendations and the implementation timeline from the quarterly progress reports.
For each of the recommendations, the annex includes the recommendation as worded by the Inquiry, the progress status, responsible body, and for outstanding recommendations owned by the government, the responsible department and person.
All recommendations include an update of the progress made in the year-to-date, and remaining ongoing recommendations include upcoming work and the milestones to completion.
We remain committed to ensuring transparency on the reporting of progress against recommendations. Government set out its intention to report on the progress against recommendations until all recommendations are complete, and will continue to do so through the quarterly progress and annual reports.
