Conclusion
We hope work to improve investigations at UK ODA receiving partners will continue under the merged FCDO in a way that encourages participation of the local population in the process. However, the culture of the sector (described in Chapter 4 of this report) is also key to ensuring that robust investigations are undertaken and complaints against perpetrators are upheld.

We are funding the CHS Alliance to establish the first ever certified SEAH investigator training course. Partner representatives are all actively involved in the three employment cycle schemes we support: Project Soteria with Interpol; the Misconduct Disclosure Scheme; and the Aid Worker Registration Scheme. We continue to consult with aid workers, survivor representatives and widely across the sector on all three schemes which also benefit from ongoing engagement with senior legal experts to ensure there are relevant checks and balances.
