Bio Ian D. Plaskett is an international consultant and founder of Plaskett Integrity Group, specialising in protection from sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment (PSEAH), safeguarding, human rights, and organisational integrity. He has overseen significant international actor safeguarding evaluations and analyses across diverse country contexts.His expertise encompasses SEAH risk assessments, strategic development, organisational culture transformation, accountability to affected populations, as well as monitoring and evaluation. Ian consistently emphasises the critical importance of adherence to international standards; however, he argues that compliance alone is inadequate if it does not bridge the gap between policy and lived experience. Underscoring that established frameworks can sometimes conceal underlying structural inequalities, he advocates that authentic organisational integrity is achieved by closing this gap—centring survivor perspectives, empowering local actors, and integrating safeguarding practices rooted in justice, accountability, and equity.
