Committee on Public Petitions
Office of the Ombudsman Annual Report 2022 and Related Matters: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Ger Deering:
We do not have exactly what the Senator is talking about but we have introduced some new measures recently to try to understand where our complaints are coming from. For example, and it is completely voluntary and people do not have to respond but I am happy to say many do, we ask people their socioeconomic background, where they are coming from - whether it is from marginalised groups - and all of that. We also ask the age profile of people to try to understand if we are reaching the right people. That is something we would be happy to introduce to get feedback on our own performance, yes.
