Complaints

We value what you tell us about our services – whether it’s what we’re doing well or things we could do better. These comments help us to improve the way we work, so we view complaints positively as a way of being able to make changes when we haven’t met our usual high standards.

If you would like to make a compliment or complaint you can do this by:

What is a compliment? A compliment is an expression of satisfaction about the standard of service we provide.

What is a complaint? A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction with the standard of service we provide, which needs responding to.

If you make a complaint, we promise to:

  • Take your complaint seriously
  • Try to put things right as soon as possible
  • Be helpful and respectful
  • Apologise if we get things wrong
  • Record your feedback on how your complaint was handled
  • Use your feedback to improve our services

There are two steps to our complaints procedure:

  1.  Investigation
    Once we have received your complaint, we will look into this and give you a response within 10 working days.
