  2. All complaint information will be handled in confidence following the Data Protection Act 2018. Only those who need access to deal with the complaint will be party to relevant confidential information.
     

  3. You can expect to be treated with fairness and respect and fairness at all times. We expect that you will also treat our employees or representatives dealing with your complaint with the same.

Making a Complaint

  1. If you are unhappy with any of our services please speak to a member of staff directly or use any of our feedback mechanisms. Often issues can be dealt with immediately as they arise. 
     

  2. In case the complaint cannot be dealt with at this stage, please contact us via email to info@dialled-in.com and the relevant member of staff will contact you to deal with it. 
     

  3. When making a complaint, it is helpful if you could include the following information:

    • Tell us why you are making a complaint

    • Describe clearly what happened – please include the date, time and location of the incident.

    • Tell us what you would like us to do.

    • Please provide your full name, email address and contact phone number,

    • Tell us how you would prefer us to contact you and whether you have any access requirements.

      If appropriate, please send us any documents that support your complaint.
       

  4. You should aim to make your complaint within one month of the event occurring.​

Complaints Procedure

  • Stage 1 - Informal resolution 

    • You can most easily resolve complaints by raising them when the problem occurs and with those directly involved. In case the complaint cannot be resolved at this stage, you should then refer the complaint for formal resolution under stage two.
       

  • Stage 2 - Formal resolution

    • Our aim is to investigate your complaint properly and give you a reply setting out how the problem will be dealt with. 

    • You will receive an acknowledgement of your complaint within 5 working days and we expect to have a final response for you within a reasonable time, normally within 21 days working days. Sometimes we will not be able to send a full reply within this timeframe, for example if your complaint is very complex. If this happens, we will tell you the reason why and provide an updated timeline, keeping you fully informed of progress.

    • If a criminal offence is alleged, then the police will be informed and any investigation will be passed to them. Likewise, if a safeguarding issue is raised, it will be reported to the relevant authorities.
       

  • Stage 3 - Review of complaint

    • If you are not satisfied with the response please email the Chair of our Advisory Board who will decide on any further steps to resolve the situation. The Advisory Board may at this stage appoint an external advisor.
