- Complaints that are initially made orally will be dealt with as soon as possible.
- In the event that a complaint initially made orally is not resolved within 7 days of our first hearing of the complaint, we will ask you to put your complaint into writing and send it to us by email or post (click here for contact details) marked for the attention of Helen Pearson. The procedure described below will then apply.
