Compliments, Complaints and Feedback

Feedback

It is our intention to be courteous, respectful and responsive to the needs of our clients and service users, providing a quality of service that meets or exceeds their expectations. We are sensitive to our users who have special needs providing practical assistance wherever possible to ensure that our services remain free from discrimination. If there are any comments or concerns regarding our service delivery, we want to hear them and will use them to further improve our services. We provide a variety of opportunities for our users to submit their opinions during programme delivery or you can use our online form at any time.

Our Quality Manager regularly reviews this feedback, and then collates and disseminates the information within the organisation, so that appropriate praise may be given or correction action taken.

Complaints

We try to deal with complaints in a prompt, fair and positive manner. Usually issues can be resolved informally by a member of staff but where this is not possible or, if our users are not satisfied with the initial response they receive, we ask that complaints are made in writing, if possible using the complaints form, and sent to: Best Practice Network Limited, 111 Victoria Street, Bristol, BS1 6AX

Written complaints are initially escalated to the first level of line management above the staff member who originally dealt with the issue, with a further right of appeal to management at the next level should the complainant still feel that their problem has not been dealt with satisfactorily.

We aim to acknowledge complaints within three working days, and to investigate and take any necessary action to resolve the situation within 20 working days.

We aim to ensure that:

  • Making a complaint is as easy as possible
  • We treat your complaint seriously
  • We deal with your complaint promptly and in confidence
  • We learn from complaints and use them to review and improve our service
