The Local Government Ombudsmen investigate complaints about Councils and certain other bodies. They investigate complaints about most council matters including housing, planning, education and social services. It is an independent, impartial and free service. The Ombudsmen can investigate complaints about how the Council has done something wrong. But they cannot question what a Council has done simply because someone does not agree with it.

The Standards Board for England helps build confidence in local democracy. They do so by promoting the ethical behaviour of members and co-opted members who serve on a range of authorities through receiving and investigating allegations that members may have breached the Code of Conduct. The Standards Board for England was formally established in March 2001. Although set up by Act of Parliament, the Standards Board is completely independent of Government.
