Look up complaints figures for 2011-12

Look up complaints figures for each organisation and download a spreadsheet of this and the previous year's statistics.

This includes:

  • The number of complaints received;
  • The number of complaints resolved through intervention;
  • The number of complaints accepted for formal investigation; and
  • The number of investigated complaints reported on and the percentage of those complaints which were fully upheld, partly upheld or not upheld.
Public bodies are listed in alphabetical order by their official name. They are listed individually, rather than as a government department including its sponsored bodies.

We record a public body as an ‘unknown body’ where someone asks us how to complain about a public body but he or she is at such an early stage in the complaints process that they do not know, or are unwilling to give us, the name of the public body.

You can view 2010-11 figures here or download the CSV file containing data for both periods.
