Help making a complaint

If you are unable or reluctant to make a complaint yourself you can ask a friend, relative or advocate to make one for you. If you would prefer for an advocate to act on your behalf, you can contact the Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance for advice on those available in your area. You must give the person making the complaint permission to act on your behalf by completing a Third Party Consent to Disclose Form.

How long do I have to make a complaint?

You can make a complaint up to 6 months after the event happened, or 6 months after finding out that you have reason to complain but no more than 12 months after the event itself.

In exceptional circumstances, we may accept a complaint after the time limit.
