Corrections and concerns

Anyone can tell The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) something is wrong: a factual error, a flawed method, a misleading claim or a conduct concern. Corrections are part of the work. No route needs membership, an account or payment. None promises a response time; the acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step. Part of trust and accountability.

Process

How a correction moves

Anyone may request a correction without membership; an accepted one becomes a new version, and the earlier version stays on record with the reason.

Status and service levels · Reports · The programme yearDesigned process, not a record of any case: no cycle has run and every programme is at service level R0, information and enquiries. A gate is a programme decision, never a public-authority approval, a certification or a deployment authorisation. The competent authority decides.

05Where corrections appear

Visible histories, never silent edits.

Corrections to publications are listed under corrections and updates. Report-specific corrections are kept at Reports corrections and supersession. Safeguarding matters follow safeguarding and complaints.

The Consortium is not an emergency service. In immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. The Global Risks Forum’s route is at GRF corrections and concerns.

06Questions

Questions and answers.

Do I need to be a member to request a correction?
No. Corrections, concerns and complaints about public information require no membership, account or payment.
Will my name be published with a correction?
Not without your agreement. The correction record describes what changed and why; it does not need to name who reported it.
What if I disagree with the outcome?
You can ask for the decision to be reviewed. The review is carried out by someone not responsible for the original decision, and the outcome is recorded.
Can I correct material on GRF or GRA sites here?
Each institution corrects its own material. GRF and GRA publish their own routes, for example GRF corrections and concerns, and the Secretariat can direct you if you are unsure.
How long does a correction stay visible?
Permanently. The corrected version carries its history, and earlier versions remain accessible so that anyone who cited them can see what changed.
