How we deal with your complaint (PSR)

The Commissioner’s investigation will be conducted on paper by reviewing the complaint and all of the documents in the regulator’s complaint file.  Although the Commissioner may request additional information from both the regulator and the complainant, the Commissioner does not hold interviews (unless the complainant requires reasonable adjustments.)

Once the Commissioner has completed their review, they issue a preliminary decision. This allows both the complainant and the PSR to comment on the findings. The Commissioner will consider all comments and proceed to issuing their final report. This report will then be published on our website (unless there are exceptional circumstances which the Commissioner will consider, but the final decision is ours).
