a copy of the record made of the complaint to the complainant; and
subject to the following provisions of this regulation, a copy of the complaint to the person complained against (if any).
A copy of a complaint provided under paragraph (1) may be in a form which keeps anonymous the identity of the complainant or any other person.
The appropriate authority may decide not to provide a copy of a complaint under paragraph (1) if it believes that to do so—
might prejudice any investigation or pending proceedings relating to a service offence; or
would otherwise be contrary to the public interest.
Where the appropriate authority decides not to provide a copy of a complaint under paragraph (1), the authority must keep that decision under regular review.
