COMPLAINTS & CONCERNS
There are occasions when we don't get things right and mistakes do happen. When they do, it is helpful for us to hear about them. We will take your complaint seriously and investigate the matter promptly. All complaints will be dealt with sympathetically and thoroughly.
How to make a complaint
You can make a complaint in writing by email or post, or by using the Compliments, Concerns and Complaints form.
If you are unable to complete the form and choose to speak to a member of staff, we will try to deal with your concerns straightaway or we will discuss the complaints procedure with you and arrange to come back to you once the matter has been investigated.
Complaints by letter, email or using the form below will be acknowledged within three working days of receipt and we aim to resolve all complaints within 20 working days.
Once an assessment and an investigation of your concerns have been made, we will respond with our findings and a decision. Sometimes more detailed investigations are needed and if this is the case, we will contact you with an update and give you the date we expect to report back to you.
If you are not happy with the response to your complaint, you can ask to see or can write to a member of the Senior Management Team to discuss the matter further. If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you can phone or write to us to request a meeting with the Chairman of Trustees.
