In 'Being more human', Felicity Mitchell @oiahe discusses the importance of standards, the value of kindness, and the challenges facing society. Listen to April's episode of 'That OA Thing' here: https://t.co/CoEZT0b9aC
There will be a focus on the increase in complaints and the links with the pandemic, but again the @oiahe report is worth reading in full. It’s thoughtful & reflects a wish to learn & work with a sector whose decisions it regulates.

Happy #OmbudsDay
