Complaints

Our commitment to you

It is always our intention to provide you with the highest quality service. However, we appreciate that occasionally things can go wrong and, when they do, there are four things that matter:

  • You know who to complain to;
  • You know how your complaint will be dealt with;
  • You feel confident that we will take your complaint seriously; and
  • where appropriate, we will put things right quickly.
