Hello Mr David Robie,

We thought you may be interested in this latest news item that has just been added to the IPC website.

More complaints, more accountability for the British Press Complaints Commission.

The number of complaints received by British Press Complaints Commission (PCC) in 2003 was 3,649 - 39% more than in 2002. For Sir Christopher Meyer, Chairman of the PCC, the increase reflects \"the continuing high-profile of the Commission, the proactive work that we do in educating people about how to use the Code, the lengths to which we have gone to make complaining easy and the increasing willingness of members of the public to complain \".



As part of his plans for the \'permanent evolution\' of the Commission, Sir Christopher announced last year that a new panel would be appointed to scrutinise the Commission\'s handling of complaints. The members having been appointed, he noted that \"the creation of the Charter Compliance Panel will add another layer of accountability to our work and reassure complainants that what we do is carried out under a high degree of scrutiny.\" The panel will have the power to review any aspect of the Commission\'s handling of complaints and make recommendations for improvements.



Also appointed was the first independent Charter Commissioner. Any complainant who is dissatisfied with the manner in which his/her complaint was handled can write to him. He will investigate the matter and report any recommendations to the Director and the Commission.
