Our complaints policy

We are committed to providing a high-quality service. When something goes wrong, we need you to tell us about it. This will help us to improve our standards. We aim to handle complaints in a fair, professional and on-confrontation manner. If you have a complaint, please contact us with the details within one month of the event, action or lack of action that has given rise to the complaint.

Contact should be made by email or letter the SASS manager. If the complaint is about the manager, address the correspondence to the SASS Adviser.
The initial complaint communication should contain (where appropriate): Reason for complaint, with sufficient detail to allow investigation. Names of people involved. Outcome that the complainant consider a satisfactory resolution. Your full contact details and your preferred method of written contact, if different to the method you used to contact us.
