UK | The 50th anniversary of the Ombudsman in Northern Ireland

The Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman´s (NIPSO) office opened its doors to the public on 22 December 1969.  To mark the occasion the Ombudsman´s office has produced a short film, The 50th Anniversary of the Ombudsman in Northern Ireland, which looks at the Office’s origins and explains more about our work. The film includes an interview with Dr Paul Arthur, Professor of Peace Studies at Ulster University, who provides a historical background to the creation of the Office.  It also includes contributions from two complainants, who reflect on their experiences of using our service, and the Head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service, David Sterling, who talks about the Office from the perspective of a public body.
