LLG are delighted to announce that we will be joined by Cameron Black, from the Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman for a webinar on the Complaint Handling Code.

This informative session will be on Wednesday 4th September, from 12-1pm and covers the development of the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman’s Complaint Handling Code and expectations in relation to scrutiny and oversight of complaint functions in local councils.

The webinar will explore:

  • The purpose of the Complaint Handling Code
  • The Ombudsman’s powers to issue a Code
  • How complaints data can provide early warning of failings in local authorities
  • Expectations in the Code on scrutiny and oversight and how this can support statutory officers to discharge their legal duties
  • Early learning from pilot authorities.
