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.

Submission of Child Friendly Complaints Handling Principles to Parliament

Following the completion of the public consultation on the draft Child Friendly Complaints Handling Principles, we carried out detailed analysis and made a number of amendments based on the consultation responses and feedback. The resulting version of the Principles has now been submitted to the Scottish Parliament for approval. You can find and download a copy of that version below, though please note this may be subject to change following parliamentary comment and scrutiny. 

Once approved, the final version of the Principles will become part of our wider Statement of Principles, which all public bodies under our jurisdiction must ensure their complaints procedures comply with.
