We aim to handle all feedback as quickly and informally as possible. When you contact us we will need to know what happened and what you think could be done to put things right. Most of the feedback we receive are resolved informally by discussing the problem with a member of staff.
If you are able to talk to the managers who deliver your service, this is often the quickest and best way to get a problem resolved. The managers and staff work hard to ensure issues are responded to quickly and resolved at this stage wherever possible.
We hope we can work with you to resolve your feedback, but it you are not satisfied with the outcome following the investigation you may wish to contact the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman.
Access the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman.
You can also contact the Care Quality Commission if you have any general concerns about the standard of care provided.
Access the Care Quality Commission website to find out more.
