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 provide updates on existing cases.
We are planning on the basis that this could continue for a period of time including for the remainder of this week.
If you would like to check if your complaint is ready for the SPSO or enquire about making a new complaint, please complete our Complaint Checker.
Please be assured we are doing all we can and will provide updates on our website.

In 2020 the Scottish Government plans to introduce the new role of the Independent National Whistleblowing Officer (INWO). The role and functions of the INWO will be undertaken by the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman.
We have developed a set of draft National Whistleblowing Standards which we are now consulting on. These can be found here.
