Complaints Policy

​

The purpose of this complaint policy is to enable clients or staff to be fully informed upon the process by which any complaints received by the Centre will be managed.  It aims to ensure that all complaints received are responded to in a manner which reassures the person making the complaint that complaints are managed in an appropriate and timely manner.

It is recognised that complaints may provide a business with a valuable opportunity to identify any short comings in the service provided to both clients and staff.

 

How to make a complaint?

Complaints may be made directly in person, by telephone, by email or in writing and this policy outlines the procedure to be followed if a complaint is received.

 

Who do I complain to?

Any complaint should be made to either of the following personnel: Catherine Moody, Samantha Moody or Robyn Moody

The Centre Manger  - Catherine Moody

 

If a complaint relates to allegation of ill treatment of a child oradult at risk, then the Centres (or BHS) Safeguarding Policy will be followed. This will include reporting the concern to the BHS Safeguarding Team.

 

When a complaint is received
