 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 with 21 days. If this is not possible, we will explain why and provide a new deadline. 

 All complaints will be logged in our ‘complaints register’ and tracked until they are resolved. The complaints register is reviewed by the Board of Directors on a regular basis. 

 What happens if the complaint is not resolved?  

If you are not happy with our response, you may get in touch again by writing to the CEO Angela Dorgan. If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you are invited to contact the Chair of the Board who will ensure that your appeal is considered at Board level. The Chair will respond within two weeks of this consideration by Board members.

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