How long will it take?
Your complaint will be acknowledged within 3 working days from the date we receive notification of your complaint.
Your compliant will then be investigated thoroughly in accordance with established in-house procedures. A formal reply will be sent to you within 15 working days of receipt of your complaint.
You should register a complaint as soon as you can after the date on which the event occurred.
If you complain more than twelve months later, we may not be able to investigate properly. Consideration will, however, be given as to whether you had good reason for not making the complaint sooner and whether, despite the delay, it is still possible to investigate the complaint effectively and fairly.
