Complaints

If you want to complain we will ensure that your complaint is treated seriously, is handled without bias or discrimination and that your confidentiality is respected.
If you are dissatisfied with the way in which we have dealt with you, you can contact us by letter, email or telephone setting out exactly what you think has gone wrong and what you think we should do to put it right.
In the first instance, we ask you to raise your complaint with us.

What will we do with your complaint?

We will assess your case individually under our Code of Practice: Managing Complaints. There are no standard or automatic remedies. We will consider all relevant factors when deciding on an appropriate remedy and will offer what we believe to be a fair solution to all concerned.
If we find that we have made a mistake, or not dealt with you properly, we will do what we can to put things right.

This may involve:

• Apologising,
• Correcting any errors so that, where possible, the same concern will not be experienced by another,
• Taking further action in response to your concerns,
• Telling you what we have learnt from the complaint and what action we will take to ensure that no other person has the same issue.
