The Complaints Commissioner recommends that we have an Internal Complaints Procedure Our policy for handling complaints is set out below.
If you wish to express concern about an evaluation or another aspect of the work of the Office of Education Standards, please write to the Chief Inspector.
Explain and discuss the matter with the head of the institution or the principal of the school being evaluated. If the incident occurred during the week of the inspection, you should do this immediately after the action that gave rise to your concern. The head of the center or principal will seek a resolution by sharing the concern with the lead inspector.
If you feel your complaint has not been resolved, you and the head of the institution or principal should together speak with the lead inspector about your concern.
If the complaint has still not been resolved then, the lead inspector will pass this on to the Chief Inspector/Director who will deal with the matter or inform the Chief Officer, should this become necessary.
You will receive a full response within 25 working days.
If the incident is not related to an evaluation
