Download or read book Provincial and Territorial Ombudsman Offices in Canada written by Institute of Public Administration of Canada and published by Ipac Public Management and Government. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parliamentary ombudsmen are appointed to investigate citizens' complaints and to provide checks on government administrative activity. In Canada, there are ten provincial and territorial ombudsmen, each with mandates over the whole of the public service within their regions. Though each ombudsman presents an annual report on his or her activities, there has been little sustained evaluation of the position's impact or its effectiveness. In this collection, contributors describe and assess the performance of the ten ombudsman offices in light of their multiple and evolving functions. Ombudsmen both investigate citizens' complaints and direct them to already-existing agencies. They sometimes educate the public about administrative processes and initiate probes of systemic issues in need of amelioration or change. An important evaluation of a little-studied institution, Provincial and Territorial Ombudsman Offices in Canada offers background and theory, case studies, and perspectives on the emerging challenges for the office in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Review of the Office of the Ombudsman written by Ontario. Legislative Assembly. Standing Committee on the Ombudsman and published by Standing Committee on the Ombudsman. This book was released on 1993 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ombudsman Act was passed in 1975. Since that time, no general review of the effectiveness of the Office of the Ombudsman or the Act in meeting their objectives had been undertaken. It was concluded that since much has changed since the Act was first passed, a more general review of the Office should be conducted. The report is organized into two halves. The first half is devoted to examining issues related to the Ombudsman's mandate, power and procedures. This includes developments with respect to the scope of the Ombudsman's function, matters related to the Ombudsman's accessibility, the process for reviewing complaints and the Ombudsman's jurisdiction. The second half of the report examines in considerable detail the Ombudsman's relationship with the government and the Legislature.

Download or read book The Nature of Inquisitorial Processes in Administrative Regimes written by Laverne Jacobs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ’Inquisitorial processes’ refers to the inquiry powers of administrative governance and this book examines the use of these powers in administrative law across seven jurisdictions. The book brings together recent developments in mixed inquisitorial-adversarial administrative decision-making on a hitherto neglected area of comparative administrative process and institutional design. Reaching important conclusions about their own jurisdictions and raising questions which may be explored in others, the book's chapters are comparative. They explore the terminology and scope of the concept of inquisitorial process, justifications for the use of inquiry powers, the effectiveness of inquisitorial processes and the implications of the adoption of such powers. The book will set in motion continued dialogue about the inherent challenges of balancing policy goals, fairness, resources and institutional design within administrative law decision-making by offering theoretical, practical and empirical analyses. This will be a valuable book to government policy-makers, administrative law decision-makers, lawyers and academics.
Download or read book Handbook of Academic Integrity written by Sarah Elaine Eaton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 1924 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book brings together diverse views from around the world and provides a comprehensive overview of academic integrity and how to create the ethical academy. At the same time, the Handbook does not shy away from some of the vigorous debates in the field such as the causes of academic integrity breaches. There has been an explosion of interest in academic integrity in the last 20-30 years. New technologies that have made it easier than ever for students to ‘cut and paste’, coupled with global media scandals of high profile researchers behaving badly, have resulted in the perception that plagiarism is ‘on the rise’. This, in combination with the massification and commercialisation of higher education, has resulted in a burgeoning interest in the importance of academic integrity, how to safeguard it and how to address breaches appropriately. What may have seemed like a relatively easy topic to address – students copying sources without attribution – has in fact, turned out to be a complex, interdisciplinary field of research requiring contributions from linguists, psychologists, social scientists, anthropologists, teaching and learning specialists, mathematicians, accountants, medical doctors, lawyers and philosophers, to name just a few. Because of this broad interest and input, this handbook serves as the single authoritative reference work which brings together the vast, growing, interdisciplinary and at times contradictory body of literature. For both established researchers/practitioners and those new to the field, this Handbook provides a one-stop-shop as well as a launching pad for new explorations and discussions.
