Important external dispute resolution complaint figures (referral resolution rate, non-response rate, closed at decision and closed at decision in favour of complainant) can be found at the top of the dashboard.
The data on the homepage is then split into four charts: received complaints, accepted complaints, closed complaints and responsiveness. These charts can be explored further by clicking the explore button.
