Introducing more independence and support into the complaints process in the Senedd

The Standards of Conduct Committee (the Committee) gave consideration to the option of introducing an independent Complaints process to the Senedd. It considered different models and approaches to addressing concerns about the current process and is considering introducing the following changes to enhance independence in the process and improve the support available.

The Committee would welcome your views on the proposals. Please submit your response by 3 December 2025 to Seneddstandards@Senedd.wales.

Providing Written Evidence

The Senedd has two official languages, Welsh and English.

In line with the Senedd’s Official Languages Scheme, the Committee welcomes contributions in both or either of our official languages, and we ask organisations that are subject to Welsh Language standards or schemes to respond in line with their own obligations. Please inform the Committee when submitting responses if you intend to provide a translation at a later date.

Please see guidance for those providing evidence for committees.
