The Ombudsman is mandated by law to enquire into complaints about most Solomon Islands public institutions (including Ministries, government departments, the Police Force, the Correctional Services, Provincial Governments and their town councils, Honiara City Council, Commissions, Education Authorities, Corporate bodies and State-owned Enterprises) and their agents or contractors. It is the administrative actions or decisions (including inaction) of these bodies or what is broadly described as Maladministration that the Ombudsman can investigate. Complaints to the Ombudsman can be made verbally or in writing. This form is intended as one of the ways by which a written complaint can be made to the Ombudsman. A downloadable version of the form can be pdf here (410 KB) . Although the Ombudsman may later contact you for additional information if need be, it is important that you provide in the first place all necessary details about your complaint so that the Ombudsman can quickly decide on whether your complaint warrants early resolution or referral to another office or person, full investigation, or immediate dismissal without further investigation.
