The Complaints Process
The Company takes every opportunity to resolve complaints at the first initial point of contact. Immediate resolution is always attempted where possible and where little, or no investigation is required. We aim to resolve most face to face and telephone issues in this manner.
Our frontline employees are trained to deal with your issues and are equipped to resolve your complaint as it relates to their area of service or expertise. However, should you feel that your concerns remain unresolved, you will be offered the option of making a formal complaint.
Our complaint handling process is simple and easy to use. Once you have lodged a formal complaint with us, we will: -
Assign your complaint to our Complaints Officer who will record your complaint on our complaint register.
Assign your complaint a unique reference number and provide you with a written acknowledgement.
Assess your complaint and investigate the matter fully.
Where applicable, refer your complaint for further investigation to a subject matter expert on the issues raised.
Where applicable, contact you to request clarification or additional information.
Provide you with a final written response containing details of our investigation, the findings and any actions taken as a direct result of your complaint.
If eligible, provide you with details of who you can contact should you be unhappy with our final decision.
