About us

We currently have around 475 employees based at our two sites in London (Millbank) and Manchester.

 

Complaints about government departments and other public organisations are referred to us through MPs, while those about the NHS in England are usually received directly from complainants

In 2016-17, we completed 4,239 investigations and 112 resolutions about 5,179 organisations. We upheld 36% of the complaints we investigated. This means that we found the organisation complained about had made mistakes or provided a poor service, and that this had a negative effect on the person complaining that had not been put right.

 

When an investigation leads to an upheld complaint, we seek appropriate redress for any unremedied injustice or hardship suffered by the complainant. This may involve an explanation of what went wrong, an apology, changes in procedures to prevent problems recurring and, where appropriate, a payment.
