ombudsman models

An ombudsman model is a system where an independent, neutral person or office investigates and resolves complaints from individuals about organizations or institutions. Often serving as a mediator, the ombudsman helps clarify issues, facilitate communication, and recommend solutions without much bureaucracy. This model aims to promote fairness, accountability, and transparency by providing a trusted, informal avenue for addressing concerns, whether in government agencies, companies, or public services. It’s a way to ensure that people’s grievances are heard and addressed impartially, encouraging trust and improvement within the organization.
