Legal remedies

You have access to the following legal remedies: 

  • In the first instance, attempt to resolve the matter directly with the other party. You can contact the employee or their manager, or submit an objection to the unit. 
  • You can submit an objection about the activities on your own behalf or on behalf of another.
  • You can apply for the decision to be changed, that is, lodge an appeal or request for an administrative review.
  • You can also complain about the activities of an authority to the Regional State Administrative Agency, Parliamentary Ombudsman or the Chancellor of Justice.
  • If you suspect discrimination, you can contact the Non-Discrimination Ombudsman or Ombudsman for Equality, who have the power to deal with cases of discrimination.
  • In certain situations, it is possible to submit a complaint to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.

The Ombudsman for Children does not have the authority to resolve issues related to individual children or families, and the Ombudsman for Children cannot comment on such issues.
