Commission for Local Administration Sample Clauses

Commission for Local Administration. The Commission was set up under the Local Government Act 19741 and is responsible for the Local Government Ombudsman service. There are three Ombudsmen who investigate complaints from the public of injustice suffered as a consequence of maladministration by a local authority2. The Ombudsmen can recommend a suitable remedy (which can include financial compensation) for complainants if they have been caused injustice as a result of maladministration by an authority. The Ombudsmen cannot recommend any sanctions against a member who has breached a code of conduct. The Standards Board was set up under the Local Government Act 2000 to investigate complaints of breaches by members and co-opted members of their authority’s code of conduct.3 Investigations are the responsibility of Ethical Standards Officers (ESOs), who are employees of the Board, but are independent in their investigating role. After investigation, an ESO can refer a matter to an Adjudication Panel. The Panel can impose sanctions, including up to a five year disqualification from office, for members who are found to have breached a local authority’s code of conduct. However, neither the Standards Board nor the Adjudication Panel can provide or recommend a remedy for a complainant.
