Complaints and Concerns

We hope that most problems can be sorted out easily and quickly when they arise and with the person concerned.

If your problem cannot be sorted out this way and you wish to make a complaint or receive written feedback regarding your concerns, we would like you to let us know as soon as possible.

Complaints must be made to us within 12 months of the date the incident being complained about happened or the date the person raising the complaint found out about it, whichever is the later date.

We will acknowledge a complaint within three working days of receiving it. This can be done in writing, electronically or verbally.

If we think a complaint can be resolved quickly, we aim to do this in a matter of days. We will always offer to discuss with those involved and jointly agree what we will do to resolve the complaint and how long that will take.

If the person affected does not wish to deal with the complaint themselves, they can appoint a representative to raise the complaint on their behalf. There is no restriction on who may represent the person affected. However, they will need to provide us with their consent for their representative to raise and discuss the complaint with us and to see their personal information (including any relevant medical records).

If you have any questions regarding any of this, please do not hesitate to contact us using one of the methods above.
