Complaints Procedure

We are only permitted to deal with and discuss a complaint with the complainant or their properly appointed representative.

Stage 1

First point of contact

If you are unable to resolve the issue informally, write to the member of staff who dealt with you, or their manager, so that they have a chance to put things right. In your letter you should set out the details of your complaint, the consequences for you, and the remedy you are seeking.
