Find out what the Complaints Commissioner does and when you can refer a complaint to them.
We have set up arrangements for investigating complaints made against us. As part of these arrangements, we have appointed a Complaints Commissioner, subject to the approval of HM Treasury, whose role is to investigate certain complaints and report to the complainant and us. The report may include recommendations to us, for example that we make an ex-gratia payment to the complainant. We decide whether to make any such payments.
Final reports
The Complaints Commissioner publishes their response to each complaint they deal with – read them at Complaints Commissioner's final reports.
