Review Form

Please use this secure online form if you if you are unhappy about the outcome of your complaint, or about how your complaint has been handled.

Step 1 of 5

Whether your application is treated as a review or an appeal depends on the date you made your complaint. This is because from 1 February 2020, new laws took effect replacing the former right of appeal with a new right of review. If your complaint was made on or after 1 February 2020, you have a right of review which will be dealt with by the Staffordshire Commissioner's office. If it was made before 1 February 2020, you have a right of appeal via Staffordshire Police.

If you are using a shared computer, to protect your privacy clear your browsing history, including your cache and all autofill form data, after submitting this complaint form.

The Staffordshire Commissioner's office must receive your review within 28 days from the day after the date stated on your outcome letter. For example, if your letter is dated 1 April, you have to make sure we receive your appeal by 29 April.

Please explain why you want to request a review*
Please outline if you are unhappy with the way your case was recorded or handled, the way it was investigated or the final outcome of the case. Please provide details explaining why.

What can happen as a result is dependent on the circumstances of the case. For example, if you are unhappy with the way your complaint has been handled (i.e. it has not been recorded or the investigation stopped) you may want your complaint to be recorded and investigated. If you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint or the way it was investigated, you may want further evidence to be considered or you may want to suggest an alternative final outcome. Examples of possible answers are: 'I would like my complaint to be investigated' 'I would like an apology' 'I would like my complaint investigation to continue' 'I would like the final outcome to take into account evidence that has been missed' 'I would like the outcome to be changed to'... etc.
