Yes

I understand that Bassetlaw District Council reserves the right not to investigate my complaint or enquiry if I have not completed this form adequately and/or if it is NOT expedient to do so/or not considered to be a breach.

I understand that Bassetlaw District Council will not investigate anonymous complaints.

Under the Data Protection Act 2018, the name and address of the person making the complaint, or any other contact details, will not be disclosed. The only exception to this is if the Council was to decide it was appropriate to take formal enforcement action and you had been asked to collect evidence to support your complaint. In these cases, you may be asked to give that evidence at any appeal against the enforcement notice for example at a hearing or public inquiry, but you will be asked first if you are prepared to do so. If you are not willing to do this, it is likely that this will hinder any appropriate formal action.

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the Council has to make available certain information to the public, including information about complaints. However, if a request is made under this legislation for the identity of the complainant or for information which may identify the complainant you will be contacted for your permission to disclose your details, if you refuse then the request will be denied for this personal information. Please be aware however that in exceptional circumstances, the information may be required to be disclosed by law.
