Highlight Report HR-2026-09

28 September 2026 (reconstructed)

1–28 September 2026

The busiest month of disclosures and reviews so far. Outstanding work is now dominated by external dependencies: open reviews, incomplete disclosures, historic file access and complaint routes. Administrative closure must not be read as evidential closure.
