Complaints Procedure

Complaints Procedure

If you have a complaint, then this note sets out the procedure which we will follow in dealing
with that complaint.


Stage One


Initial complaints should be dealt with at source, or by the Manager/Director with oversight of
the team to which the complaint relates. Full details are below for each department. If you
have initially made your complaint verbally, please also make it in writing if you have been
unable to obtain a resolution. This will ensure we understand exactly what your complaint is,
and we have a written record of it.
