Friday 16 October - Sunday 18 October: Complaint form offline

The supplier of our case management system has confirmed that they are experiencing a significant technical issue.

At present, we have no access to the case management system and we are currently unable to take new Public Service Complaints or provide updates on cases. We are planning on the basis that this could continue for a period of time including next week.

Please be assured we are doing all we can and will provide updates on our website.

Child Friendly Complaints Handling Process Guidance

Following a multi-year project of extensive consultation and co-design, we can now share our new Child Friendly Complaints Handling Process Guidance. The guidance is intended to sit alongside the Child Friendly Complaints Handling Principles, to provide detailed best practice guidance on how to deliver the Model Complaints Handling Procedure in a way that meets children’s rights under the UNCRC. 

By taking an approach of focusing on core principles supported by best practice guidance, we hope to provide public bodies with the flexibility to continue with existing local good practice, whilst also providing detailed step-by-step guidance for those who would find it useful.
