Festive closure

We will close at 5pm on Tuesday 24 December 2024 and reopen at 9am Friday 3 January 2025. You can still submit complaints through our online form, but we won't respond until we reopen.

Complaints briefing note

The Improvement Service (IS, the national improvement agency for local government in Scotland) and SPSO have revised and updated a complaints briefing note for elected members. The briefing note emphasises how complaints should be used to identify concerns with service design and delivery, and support improvements. It includes a 10-point checklist of essential questions.

To download the elected member briefing note, visit the Elected Member Guidance and Briefings page of the IS website.
