How to make a complaint

What happens when you complain

Your complaint will be managed by the Customer Resolution & Improvement Team. They will assess if it can be resolved within 5 working days (Frontline) or will take longer (Investigation) and send you an acknowledgement, explaining when you should expect to receive a final response.

Frontline

We aim to resolve complaints when you contact us. This could mean an on-the-spot apology and explanation if something has clearly gone wrong, and action to resolve the problem.

We will give you our decision in five working days or less, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

If we can’t resolve your complaint at this stage, we will explain why and tell you what you can do next.

Investigation

These are complaints that have not been resolved at Frontline or complaints that we assess as being complex or requiring a detailed investigation.

We will:

• acknowledge receipt of your complaint within three working days;
• discuss your complaint with you to understand why you remain dissatisfied and what outcome you are looking for; and
• give you a full response to the complaint as soon as possible and within 20 working days.

If our investigation will take longer than 20 working days, we will tell you. We will agree revised time limits with you and keep you updated on progress.
