Scottish Prisons Complaints Commission
The Scottish Prisons Complaints Commission investigates complaints made by prisoners that have not been resolved through the internal complaints system of the Scottish Prison Service (SPS).
The SPCC closed on 30 September 2010. The functions of the SPCC transfer to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman with effect from 1 October 2010 as a result of the Scottish Parliamentary Commissions and Commissioners etc Bill. The Bill takes forward recommendations from a number of reports issued since 2006 aimed at simplifying the landscape and improving the operation of the public sector in Scotland.
The Scottish Public Services Ombudsman can be contacted by phone, using the freephone number 0800 377 7330, or by writing to
