This Act does not change the jobs of the Ombudsmen, who are in charge of making sure the government is fair, as set out in the Ombudsmen Act 1975, unless it specifically says so. You can still go to the Ombudsmen if you think a government agency has treated you unfairly. The Ombudsmen will keep doing their job as usual, making sure the government is fair and listens to people's complaints.
