This year the overall number of concerns raised with us increased. In 2021/22 we received 3,080 concerns, compared with 2,998 in 2020/21 and 2,985 in 2019/20. It is difficult to give reasons for the increase because there are many possible causes and there were no notable increases in any individual type of concern received.
