Components

This page features previously published decision letters setting out ORR’s approval of licence holders’ complaints handling procedures (CHPs). 

From 1 April 2023 ORR no longer approves licence holders’ CHPs. Instead licence holders are required to establish and comply with a CHP that complies with ORR’s Complaints Code of Practice
