Complaints form

When you make a complaint through the IOPC website, this complaint is sent directly to the police force or organisation concerned, for them to consider. You can also complain directly to the police/organisation. They will assess your complaint and contact you about how it will be handled. 

The IOPC will not be involved with this initial assessment of your complaint. 

If you would prefer to send your complaint by email or in writing, please use the word or pdf version of our complaints form. This form is also available in Welsh.

If you are trying to raise concerns about something you have seen on social media, in the news, or heard about from another person, you may not be considered to be negatively affected. 

If you are using a shared computer, to protect your privacy, please clear your browsing history, including your cache and all autofill form data, after submitting the complaints form.
