I would like the Independent Complaints Reviewer to consider my complaint. I understand that:

  • You will need to handle personal details about me, which could include sensitive information in order to deal with my complaint effectively.
  • You will need to exchange information about my complaint with The National Archives (for example to find out important facts about my case).
  • You handle complaints in a different way from the courts, not requiring people to attend hearings in person, but resolving disputes by correspondence.
  • You may publish examples of where things can go wrong, based on real cases, but you will always respect my privacy and keep my personal information confidential.
