What happens if I’m still not satisfied? 

We hope to resolve your complaint to a satisfactory conclusion. If however, you are not happy with our response, you may refer your complaint to our Chief Executive. The Chief Executive will respond to you within two weeks of receiving your complaint.

If we have not been able to resolve any complaint to your satisfaction, or if you are unhappy with how your complaint has been handled, you may refer your complaint to the Board of Trustees. You will be notified of their contact details in your outcome letter.
