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.

For an all service update: Service update | SPSO

Training options

Identifying and supporting public service users in vulnerable circumstances workshop

These workshop materials are designed to assist public service providers in recognising when service users need extra help to access services and to suggest appropriate ways to give support for those needs. 

These materials are free to use and aim to help raise awareness, understanding, and support for individuals whose circumstances might lead to them being less able to fully access public services. 

The workshop materials consist of:

  • a set of PowerPoint slides
  • a workbook
  • facilitator’s notes 

These materials have been designed to help organisations have internal discussions with colleagues but can also be used for self-study and individual reflection. These materials provide a basis for discussion, you do not need to be an experienced trainer to deliver the workshop. 

To download this free resource, please complete the access form with your name and email address.


These resources were produced as part of a collaborative project involving Professor Gill (University of Glasgow), Professor Creutzfeldt (University of Kent), the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman and the Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman.
