What Is an Ombuds Office?
An ombuds office can exist within both government and non-government organizations.
Many counties have ombuds offices. These offices typically serve as a resource for residents to resolve complaints or disputes about government agencies, services, or officials. They investigate issues such as maladministration, injustice, or unfair treatment and can make recommendations for corrective action. Key features of an ombuds office are independence, neutrality, and confidentiality.
