Choose option A or B
Option A. Report to the independent Senedd Commissioner for Standards
Allegations can be discussed with the Standards Commissioner on a private and confidential basis. However, if the Commissioner investigates, it will in most cases be necessary for the person you are complaining about to know your identity, in order for the process to be fair.
If the Standards Commissioner believes that there is enough substance to justify further investigation, your complaint will be fully investigated and a report submitted to the Standards of Conduct Committee. You will be kept informed and your identity can be protected from publication.
Option B. Report to the relevant political party. If the Member is not affiliated to a political party, this option will not apply and you remain free to pursue Option A.
Each political party will follow their own procedure. Contact the relevant party for details of the process.
At any time, you can change your mind and report your complaint to the Standards Commissioner. There may be some extra procedures you need to follow as a result of your change of complaint route.
