This session will introduce a self-assessment tool and process which may be used by any

Ombudsman Office to measure and demonstrate performance. The process involves

comparing your operations against a number of criteria which have been drawn from the

literature. The second step in the process is a peer or third party review of your results to

test integrity of the assessment.
