FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT

If the above two options have not worked for you then you should make a formal complaint. We will follow up all complaints about published items which are in our control. We adhere to the Standards Code adopted by IMPRESS, the independent monitor for the press, so can only deal with complaints which relate to an alleged breach of the standards set out in the IMPRESS Code: http://www.impress.press/standards/. Please see our Complaints Policy Complaints Policy for details.

In summary, we can only deal with your complaint if you are:

i. personally and directly affected by an alleged breach of the Code
ii. a representative group affected by an alleged breach of the Code, where there is public interest in your complaint
iii. a third party seeking to ensure accuracy of published information
We are regulated by IMPRESS, so all formal complaints must first be made to the publisher at office@eeio.com, and all complaints must take the following form:
