+
Explore the essential role of an Ombuds in the public service, learn about our guiding principles, activities, and find key contacts. Whether you're an Ombuds, a stakeholder, a government department member, or simply seeking information, this page is your go-to resource.     
  
•Currently 24 ombuds representing 44 departments and agencies.
+
===What is an organizational ombuds?===
 +
According to the [https://www.ombudsassociation.org/what-is-an-ombuds- International Ombuds Association] organizational ombuds work with individuals and groups in an organization to
  
•Various mandates and models across departments.
+
#provide a safe space to talk about an issue or concern,
 +
#explore options to help resolve conflicts, and,
 +
#bring systemic concerns to the attention of the organization for resolution.
  
•Guided by common Standards of Practice aligned with the International Ombuds Association.
+
An organizational ombuds operates in a manner to preserve the confidentiality of those seeking services, maintains a neutral/impartial position with respect to the concerns raised, works at an informal level of the organizational system (compared to more formal channels that are available), and is independent of formal organizational structures.
  
 +
===A diversified service offering===
 +
The organizational ombuds community currently consists of 26 ombuds in 47 agencies or departments and continues to grow.

They do not defend the interests of any particular individual in the organization.
 
 
 
'''INDEPENDENCE'''
 
 
 
Ombud usually report to the highest level in the organization and have direct access to other senior managers in the organization.
 
 
 
Ombuds exercise sole discretion over whether or how to act regarding an individual’s concern, a trend or systemic issue.
 
 
 
'''INFORMALITY'''
 
 
 
Ombuds do not participate in investigations or formal processes.
 
 
 
Calling upon the Ombuds is voluntary and is not a required step in a recourse.
