Basic Principles

Making a Complaint and Giving Compliments 

• We believe that complaints and compliments are a valuable indicator of the quality of our service, and an opportunity to improve that quality. We assure all Service Users that no-one will be victimised for making a complaint, and we encourage Service Users to instigate the complaints procedure whenever they feel that this is necessary. We do not wish to confine complaints to major issues. We encourage Service Users to comment when relatively minor matters are a problem to them. It is our policy that all matters which disturb or upset a Service User should be reported, recorded, and corrective action should be taken. Only in that way can we work towards meeting our aim of continuously improving our service. 
• Our commitment is that: 

•     All complaints will be taken seriously; You will receive a response within 3 working days of the complaint being made (unless a full reply can be sent within 5 working days), and a full response usually within 20 days; 
•     All complaints will be acted upon with fairness and impartiality;  
•    If the complaint is upheld, you will receive a written apology and appropriate action will be taken to rectify the complaint, and you will be informed of what that action is; 
• Service Users are entitled to involve an impartial third party in the complaint procedure if they so wish. 
• Service Users and their representatives may take their complaints to persons in authority outside the Company if they are not satisfied with the response that they receive from us. 

• We aim to respect your privacy and dignity at all times. Please speak out, or contact us at vejonconsultive@outlook.com if your privacy or dignity is not being respected.
