The Office of the Ombudsman is an impartial and independent office established under the Ombudsman's Act 1984 and it represents the interests of the public. When the office was first established by way of the Ombudsman Act 1984, the Ombudsman’s jurisdiction was limited to investigating complaints about central government departments and organisations under Part 1 and 2 in the Schedule of that Act. In 2007, the Ombudsman (New Schedule) Order came into force updating the Schedule.
