You will be told if the call is audio recorded, and you will be able to request a copy of the recording.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we collect this information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We consider complaints about enforcement agents and enforcement firms where you believe they have not acted properly or fairly or have provided a poor service. So that we can do this we need to collect and use information about you and your complaint.\u202f<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharing your information when<\/strong> <strong>you first contact us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will treat your information considerately and confidentially. However, we will need to share some information about your complaint with the firm and agent you have complained about.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not want us to share the information you have given us with the firm or agent you have complained about, please tell us straight away. Please be aware, however, that this is likely to limit our ability to investigate your complaint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we share your information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We may talk to the firm and agent that you have complained about so we can learn more about what happened and how they responded to your complaint to them. As you will have had to complain first to the enforcement firm, we will want to understand the history of your complaint which will help us decide how to handle your complaint.\u202fWe may also share information with witnesses or others who have provided with us information in order to conduct an appropriate investigation into your complaint.<\/p>\n<p>We may also share your information, with your consent, with other complaint handlers such as the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGSCO).&nbsp; We will do so to ensure your complaint is managed by the most appropriate complaint handler.&nbsp; (Where those complaint handlers are public bodies, they will be subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI).&nbsp; As such, any information we provide to them could be disclosable by them under FOI.&nbsp; While the relevant complaint handlers, will contact us for our view on any potential disclosure under FOI, ultimately the decision will rest with them.)<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Sharing your information if we do not investigate your complaint<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we can help to put things right without an investigation. There might be other reasons why we cannot help you further with your complaint. If so, we will write to you explaining why we are not investigating your complaint.<\/p>\n<p>We may send details of this final letter to the firm you complained about. This is to help them learn from the complaint and to consider if they need to do things differently or better.\u202f<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharing your information so we can investigate your complaint<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we decide to investigate your complaint, we must tell the firm and the agent complained about. We will need to share your name and the details of your complaint and any documents or information which you provide us.\u202fWe may also liaise with legal representatives of the firm and the agent.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, we will usually ask the firm for more information (including relevant papers, computer records and Body Worn Video footage).<\/p>\n<p>We can also ask for information from anyone who we think can help us with your investigation. We might ask for advice about your complaint from someone with specialist knowledge (for example a technical expert in High Court Enforcement) or it could be someone who can tell us more about what happened and the impact it had on you (such as a relative, employer or social worker).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharing provisional decisions and final decisions on an investigation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Towards the end of our investigation, we will send you and the firm, and any agent complained about, a copy of our provisional decision. This gives you both a chance to comment on our draft findings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Our provisional decision is confidential. It will contain all the information from you and others that we have contacted. You and the firm may share the provisional decision with people who can help you comment on its accuracy and content (for example, a family member or professional adviser), but you and the firm complained about must not make the contents public.<\/p>\n<p>After we receive comments on the provisional decision, we may send a final decision, summary or part of the decision to you, along with the firm and agent complained about. The final decision sent to the firm will be suitably drafted to exclude any unnecessary personal or sensitive data.<\/p>\n<p>Once you and the firm have received the final decision, you should be aware that it contains personal information of you and others, along with potentially sensitive information. You should handle it with care. <br>If we think that your complaint provides insight into how services or organisations can improve or is in the public interest, we may share anonymised or summarised information from the process with other appropriate organisations that may benefit from what has been learned.<\/p>\n<p>Unless we decide to publish the decision, we will not normally discuss its contents with anyone other than those involved in the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Our investigations resolve complaints on an individual basis, but they also provide an overview of issues other organisations can learn from.\u202fWe share this learning by preparing reports about particular subjects and publish them on our website.

While the complainant will be able to see the answers to the questionnaire as part of the complaint that they submit, the demographic information provided cannot be viewed by the case handlers. The data is stored separately in the case management system, and is used for reporting purposes only.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the questionnaire and the reasons why we are asking for this information is set out above, and is also be set out clearly in the opening paragraphs of the questionnaire itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">How long will we keep your information?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will keep the information about you and your complaint for six years after making our final decision, including at the conclusion of any decision review process.
