Review handling of complaints by public bodies and their transparency levels
We call on the UK Government to thoroughly review complaint-handling practices within public bodies and introduce stronger enforceable safeguards to ensure transparency, accountability, and proper record-keeping.
I am deeply concerned to have identified what seems to me to be a persistent and recurring pattern across multiple government bodies, including the Child Maintenance Service (CMS), Independent Case Examiner (ICE), and Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), where:
Legitimate concerns are not properly addressed
Accountability is repeatedly avoided
Complaints go missing
Complaints are closed without notification
Evidence is not properly retained
Records and notes appear to be amended
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
