Home > About us > Governance
These pages tell you about how we govern ourselves and who is accountable for what.
To be effective our investigations must be independent. Our governance reflects that need.
The Ombudsman is appointed by the Queen and reports directly to Parliament. The funding for our work comes from Parliament as well.
We have put in place a number of arrangements which make sure that we remain independent but at the same time provide public accountability.
This sets out the basis on which we make decisions and are accountable
Advisory Board providing support on governance and leadership of the Office.
Senior management board responsible for delivering work of the Ombudsman.
Formal sub committee of Advisory Board providing assurance of internal control and risk management.
Formal sub committee of Advisory Board responsible for pay policy and arrangements.
This sets out the responsibilities of the Cabinet Office, Treasury and the Department of Health in providing resources and support to the Ombudsman and the responsibility of the Ombudsman in demonstrating accountability.
