HOW TO COMPLAIN
​
We hope that most problems can be sorted out easily and quickly, often at the time they arise and with the person concerned. If your problem cannot be sorted out in this way and you wish to make a complaint, we would like you to let us know as soon as possible. This will enable us to establish what happened more easily. Please let us have details of your complaint within one month of the incident, as it will be difficult to establish relevant facts beyond that timeframe.
