Complaints against councillors guidance and form
Before you complete the Complaint Against a Councillor form please read this information:
- Your personal information will only be used for the purposes of investigating and administrating your complaint and will be retained in accordance with statutory requirements.
- Full details will be provided where necessary or appropriate to enable effective investigation and consideration of your complaint. If you have serious concerns about your name and a summary, or your details of your complaint being released, please complete section 4 of this form.
- Please note that requests for confidentiality or requests for suppression of complaint details will not automatically be granted. Your request will be considered alongside the substance of your complaint. We will then contact you with the decision. If your request for confidentiality is not granted, we will usually allow you the option of withdrawing your complaint.
- It is important however to understand that in certain exceptional circumstances where the matter complained about is very serious, we can proceed with an investigation or other action and disclose your name even if you have expressly asked us not to.
