What Happens Next?

If you complain in person or over the phone, we will try to resolve the issue there and then. Similarly, if you complain by email or in writing we will always acknowledge your complaint within 7 days and do everything we can to resolve it within 21 days. If this is not possible, we will explain why and give a new deadline.

All complaints will be logged in our complaints register on our database and tracked until they are resolved. The complaints register is reviewed by the board of directors biannually.

What happens if the complaint is not resolved?

If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you are invited to contact the Chairperson of the Board who will ensure that your appeal is considered at Board level. S/he will respond within two weeks of this consideration by Board members.

Acting on Results

We will do everything we can to put things right and will review our procedures where necessary to stop problems happening again.

Your Voice

We hope you agree that most of the time we do provide a good quality service. We value all feedback from those who engage with us and would also like to hear from you about what you think we do well.
