How long have I got to make a complaint?
It is always better to make your complaint as soon as possible after the problem occurred, or when you first became aware something was not right. Your complaint should be made within 12 months of the incident. This time frame can be discussed; however, we would like to ensure that your complaint is dealt with efficiently. To ensure that a full investigation can take place, we recommend reporting any concerns to us as soon as possible and within this time frame.

- We register the complaint, alert appropriate members of staff and commence our Investigation.
- Following our investigation, we aim to send a response within 20 working days detailing the outcome, and any actions taken as a consequence. It can take time to establish facts and circumstances needed to conduct an accurate investigation. If it is likely that this process will take longer than 20 working days, you will be informed as soon as possible.
- We meet with appropriate members of staff and take appropriate remedial action.
