Complaints Handling Information Sheet

This document explains how you can make a complaint, our process for handling your complaint and the steps you can take if you are not satisfied, with our response to your complaint or the time that it takes for us to respond.

We acknowledge the importance of having an effective and efficient complaints handling framework which provides us with valuable client feedback. We adopt a client focused approach and are open to feedback.
