New Guidance on Sharing Feedback and Raising Complaints
We have updated our guidance on how to provide feedback or raise a complaint about an SLCP report or the assessment process. The latest guidance makes clearer the difference between feedback and complaints, and the different ways that these are handled by the Verification Oversight Organization, as well as setting out a clearer timeline for complaints handling.
