What the results tell us

There are clear improvements across the majority of commitments, most notably in explaining the scope of our investigations and how we reach our decisions. However, over half of complainants continue to feel that we are not gathering all information we need to make a decision, which we are monitoring. Our current staff training programme will help to address this.
