Compliments, complaints and freedom of information requests
Your feedback, compliments and complaints are important to us and can help us improve the services we provide to all our customers.
Compliments
We like to hear when we have done something well.
Make a complaint
When things go wrong, we aim to put things right. If we are unable to resolve your complaint on an informal basis, a formal complaints procedure is available. Our complaints policy provides details of the procedure.
You can make a complaint if we
- do something wrong
- provide a poor standard of service
- fail to do something we should have
- do something we should not do
It is not treated as a complaint when
- you are asking for a service such as reporting a faulty streetlight or a pothole
- you are appealing against a decision which, although it is not the one you wanted, has been properly formed
More detail about the complaint process is included in our how to make a complaint, complaints policy and unacceptable behaviour policy.
We have separate complaints procedures for adult social care and children's services.
