How we will respond
We will do our best to resolve your complaint immediately and with the minimum inconvenience.
Our first step will be to understand what the problem is and then find out what we can do to resolve it and put the matter right.
Sometimes it may not be possible to resolve the problem straight away. If we are unable to resolve the complaint by the following day, this is what we will do:
- We will write and acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 5 working days
- Give you details of who is handling your complaint and how to contact them. This might not be the person who first received your complaint, but will be someone who is best placed to deal with it.
If your complaint will take longer to investigate, we will keep you informed of our progress.
We aim to resolve your complaint within 4 weeks. If we are unable to do so, we will write explaining what is happening and when we expect to resolve the complaint.
After 8 weeks we will send you a final response or a further report on the progress of ourinvestigation.
If you are still not happy
We aim to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible and to your complete satisfaction. However, if you are unhappy with our response please get in touch directly with the person or department who handled your complaint and they will agree with you what the next steps are.
