FOISA Response No. 770 - how to make a complaint again the PIRC
Where relevant, we publish our responses to Freedom of Information requests under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA).
This response addressed the following query:
- “If I have a complaint about this establishment… who do I turn to ?”
The PIRC has considered this as a request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (“FOISA”). An application for information held by public authorities under section 1 of FOISA requires that a public authority release all information held, subject to any applicable exemptions.
Information on how to submit a complaint about the PIRC is available on our website at http://pirc.uniondigital.uk/help/complaints-about-pirc .
Please note that we cannot deal with disagreements with a Complaint Handling Review (CHR) through our complaints handling procedure. For this it is open to you to take advice from a solicitor on the possibility of seeking judicial review.
