Among the aims of the Farmers Charter of Rights is to ensure you can access all the information you need via a courteous and efficient service.
Farmers' Charter of Rights
The Farmers' Charter of Rights 2015-2020 was agreed following discussions with the farming organisations. The Charter sets out specific delivery targets to our farmer customers and covers the following schemes:
- Basic Payment Scheme;
- Areas of Natural Constraint;
- Beef Genomics and Data Programme;
- AEOS;
- GLAS;
- Organic Farming Scheme;
- TAMS II;
- Forestry Grant and Premium Schemes;
- Horticulture;
- Animal Health Schemes.
The Farmers' Charter continues our commitment to the principles of Quality Customer Service set out in our Customer Charter and Action Plan. Progress under the Charter will be monitored by a review committee under an independent chairman. The committee will be comprised of representatives of farm organisations and Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine staff.

If you are unhappy with the service that you receive you may lodge a complaint to the Department's Quality Service Unit.
The complaints process is as follows:
- complaints should initially be made to the Senior Officer in charge of the area to which the complaint relates
- if you are not satisfied with the response received, you can refer the matter to the Quality Service Unit who will have it fully and impartially investigated
- if you are still dissatisfied, you can contact the Office of the Ombudsman
The Office of the Ombudsman examines complaints from people who feel they have been unfairly treated by public bodies such as government departments.
This complaints process relates to customer service issues only. Appeals on decisions related to the Department's schemes are dealt with by the relevant Division in the first instance and if the issue is not solved to your satisfaction an appeal may be lodged with the Agriculture Appeals Office .
Complaints should be made in writing by letter or by email.
