What is a complaint?
Inspectorate can only investigate complaints that involved a possible breach of the Act.

Before making a complaint
Before making a complaint to the Inspectorate, there are a number of things to consider.

The investigation process
Due to the volume and complexity of complaints received, the process can take some time.

Prosecutable breaches
Not all breaches of the Act constitute an offence and therefore not all cases can go to court.
