Recording and Monitoring Complaints
We log all complaints we receive in a Complaints Register, so that we can monitor the types of problems, the best way to sort them out and how long we are taking to deal with them. Complaints are reviewed annually to help us identify trends and take a closer look at how we can improve our own service delivery.
We monitor and review the effectiveness of our complaints handling process to ensure that this continuously improves and learnings from complaints handling are carried through into the organisation.
We will handle your information in line with data protection legislation.
