What is a Complaint?
A complaint is when tell us you are unhappy with something. This could include Finding North services, staff or procedures.
We encourage you to share your feedback or suggestions with us first. If we’re not able to resolve your concerns through feedback, and you’d prefer to raise it as a formal complaint, you’re welcome to do so. We’ll support you through that process if needed.
Making an anonymous complaint
You can choose to make a complaint without giving your name. We will still review and respond to your complaint in line with our policy. However, please note that if we can’t contact you, it may be harder for us to fully understand the issue or take further action.
What you can expect after the complaint is investigated
- We will aim to provide you with a solution within seven business days
- Sometimes we may need further review from a senior manager. If this is the case, we will aim to provide a decision within 30 days.
- We will regularly keep you updated and provide a written response of our decision.
