Wednesday 21 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 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.

Support and Intervention Policy

Our new Support and Intervention Policy will come into place on 1 April 2019.  This policy formalises the mechanisms we already use to offer support to organisations and take intervention when required.  It will offer more clarity to public bodies regarding what to expect from us, how and when.  The policy and accompanying guidance is now available at http://www.valuingcomplaints.org.uk/support-and-intervention-policy.
