Stage 1 Your complaint
We believe it is best to get complaints settled as quickly as possible and that’s what we aim to do.

If the member of staff can provide a resolution to the complaint within 3 working days it will be resolved and closed at this initial stage.
If your complaint cannot be resolved at the point of complaint, it will be treated as a formal complaint and given to the appropriate member of staff, who will act as the Investigating Complaints Officer for your complaint.

Stage 2 Review
If you are still unhappy at the end of Stage 1, you can request that your complaint is reviewed. If this happens a more senior member of staff will review your complaint within 28 working days of when you receive your outcome letter.
