What happens next?
We will send a written acknowledgement of your complaint within 5 business days of receipt. If the nature of the complaint is unclear, we may telephone or write to you to clarify the area(s) of concern.
We will then carry out a full investigation by gathering the information needed to properly review your complaint. This may mean that we will ask you for more information or papers to assist us in the investigation.
Gathering all the facts and paperwork enables us to consider all the information available at the one time, which is in the best interests of reviewing a complaint comprehensively. If we do need to request details from you, we therefore ask that you respond as fully and as soon as possible.
We will endeavour to fully investigate your complaint and respond to you within 4 weeks of receipt. If we cannot respond to your complaint within four weeks, we will write to you explain why we are not yet in a position to address the matters raised and indicate when we will make further contact.
Once we have all the information needed, we will consider the complaint fairly and impartially and provide a written response indicating our final decision.
If you require any clarification on our complaint procedures please do not hesitate to contact us.
