What to expect
-
Rapid resolution
We will offer a rapid resolution where we can resolve issues “there and then”. Even if we resolve your concerns at this early stage with just a few convenient and timely actions, we will capture your feedback so we can learn and improve our services.
For more complex cases it is more appropriate that they are investigated at stage 1 of our complaint procedure. If we can’t find a rapid resolution we will escalate your concerns to stage 1.
-
Stage 1
Our Complaints & Feedback team will investigate and respond to your complaint in 10 working days.
-
Stage 2
If you're not happy with our first response, you can request a review at Stage 2. The review will be carried out by a manager who has not previously been involved with the complaint. We'll aim to complete our review and respond to you within 20 working days.
