What happens if someone thinks my charity has broken the law?

If someone raises a concern with us about your charity campaigning on political issues we will assess and deal with it in line with our Inquiry Policy.

The Electoral Commission has advice on its website about what happens if it receives a complaint about a breach of electoral law.

The Lobbying (Scotland) Act 2016 places a duty on the Commissioner for Ethical Standards in Public Life in Scotland to investigate and report on admissible complaints into non-compliance. More information can be found at the Lobbying Register and from the Scottish Parliament’s Lobbying Register Team.
