Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

When someone investigates a complaint about you, the person in charge must tell you what they found out. They must write to you and explain what happened. If someone complained for you, they also get told what happened. You get to know what the investigation found out about your complaint. If you do not like the result, you can ask a higher boss to look at it again to see if they need to investigate more.
