Complain about a charity

What to do if a charity won't deal with your complaint, or if you suspect illegal activity like terrorism or abuse.

Report a serious incident

Use this service if you are a trustee of a registered charity and you want to report a serious incident in your charity.
The commission will let you know it’s received your report and will assess how you are dealing with the incident. It will contact you again if it:

• needs more information about the incident
• has to give you regulatory advice and guidance
• has to use its legal powers to protect your charity

Whistleblowing
