This section of the website sets out some of the policies and procedures adopted by the Office of the Ombudsman to meet its own requirements as a public body under the Disability Act 2005.

The Ombudsman, Ms. Emily O'Reilly, is also the Information Commissioner and is a member of the Standards in Public Office Commission. The Office of the Ombudsman shares offices with both the Office of the Information Commissioner and the Standards Commission.  In this section of the website, therefore, references to "the organisation" include the Office of the Ombudsman, the Office of the Information Commissioner and the Standards Commission.

The Ombudsman has a specific role under the Disability Act 2005 to investigate complaints about compliance by public bodies and others with Part 3 of the Disability Act. Details of the Ombudsman's specific role under the Disability Act can be found in the "Disability Act 2005" section of this website.
