Since 2020, the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) handles complaints against MPs, including bullying. It's designed to be independent of political parties and Parliament itself, ensuring fairness. An independent panel then reviews findings and recommends sanctions, as seen in Tony Vaughan's case.
