Details

Peer reviews are an opportunity for NCPs to learn from each other. In 2015, the United Kingdom made a G7 commitment for its NCP to be peer reviewed by other NCPs.

In December 2019, the OECD published its peer review of the United Kingdom’s NCP. The peer review assessed the NCP:

  • against the OECD’s core criteria that NCPs should be visible, accessible, transparent and accountable
  • complaint handling against the OECD’s criteria that NCP complaint handling should be impartial, predictable, equitable and compatible with the guidelines

The review provided findings and recommendations to the NCP to build on its existing strengths.
