Introduction
Have you first hand experience of a Public Service or Local Government Ombudsman?
Were you let down by an incompetent Ombudsman's office?
Do you think the investigator was biased?
Do you thing the Ombudsman's decisions were irrational?
Do you think the Ombudsman tried to get the public authority of the hook rather than deal with your complaint properly?
Would you like others to know about the injustice you have suffered as a result of Public Authority maladministration and the Ombudsman's failure to adequately resolve the problem?
Then why not consider writing a personal account to highlight the failings of the particular Ombudsman.
