Withdrawing a complaint
You can ask the Professional Standards Office to stop dealing with your complaint at any time during the process. No-one else can withdraw a complaint except the complainant.
To withdraw your complaint, you need to write to the Professional Standards Office advising that you want to withdraw it. The Professional Standards Office will provide you with a Withdrawal of Complaint form (or you can download one via the link below) which will need to be completed and returned to the office.
The relevant Church Authority will be notified and your file will then be closed. We won’t do anything more with the complaint.
