2015-11-04Outreach and awareness
Ensuring that all of the community are aware of, and can access, services should be an essential objective of the office.
-
2015-11-04Receiving and assessing complaints
How complaints are received and assessed can vary depending on a number of factors, including the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman, the agencies and other parties involved, the actions that the complainant has already taken, and the complainant’s desired intended outcome.
-
2015-11-04Challenges to jurisdiction
Ombudsman offices can face particular challenges when the executive government seeks to change the Ombudsman’s jurisdiction in a way that might limit the office’s ability to function effectively, or impact its independence.
-
2015-11-04Records management
Proper maintenance of records is an important part of a well-functioning organisation. It is particularly important that Ombudsman offices have good record management practices because it is a key area where Ombudsmen often identify poor practice in agencies in their jurisdiction. In addition, Ombudsman offices often deal with sensitive and, sometimes, highly confidential or secret information.
-
2015-11-04Measuring and monitoring performance
As with any other public or private sector organisation, it is important that offices monitor, measure and report on their performance. This will provide the Ombudsman and senior staff with confidence in the work of the office. It will also allow the office to demonstrate to the community that it is making appropriate and efficient use of the funding and resources with which it is provided. In some jurisdictions, this information can also be of assistance to the Parliamentary Committees tasked with overseeing the work of the Ombudsman. Offices can use this information to support applications for additional funding and resources, particularly if there is a clear increase in a particular area of the office’s work. And finally, this information will be useful to demonstrate the office’s importance to the community.
-
2015-11-04How to build and maintain independence
Possibly the most important element to the success of an Ombudsman is the office’s independence. It must not be, or be seen to be, answerable to the government of the day or to the agencies within the office’s jurisdiction. At the same time, the office must also not be or be seen to be a community advocate. The Ombudsman must clearly be acting in the public interest at all times.
-
2015-11-04Guiding principles
The Ombudsman is a core institution of modern government with a role to promote and protect human rights, contribute to the maintenance of the rule of law and as a pathway to accessible, timely and effective administrative justice. As the Ombudsman has a significant role to keep the executive government to account, the Ombudsman and the Ombudsman’s office must act, and be seen to act, with a high degree of integrity and accountability.
