It could be about our services or the way you have been treated …...
We aim to provide you with excellent services, but we know there is always room for improvement and that sometimes we get it wrong.
Our Comments & Complaints Procedure is there to help us improve our services, to put things right or even to tell us that we have done something well. So please tell us what you think!
We welcome your comments whether they are positive or negative, whether they are about a specific service or the way we have treated you. Within five working days of receiving your comment we will let you know who is dealing with it.
In the first instance if you feel we have not come up to your expectations, please let us know.
If you speak to one of our staff, they will try and deal with the matter there and then. If they cannot, or if you have written to us, we will contact you within five working days, either for more information, to report on progress or give you an explanation. We will do our best to resolve the matter within twenty working days.
Our service managers deal with complaints. If you are unhappy with their decision we will refer the matter to one of our directors, or ultimately to the Chief Executive Officer.
