COMPLAINTS
Help us to put things right
If you have a problem with any of our services let us know.
We want our services to be excellent but we know things can go wrong. If they do we want you to tell us. Most problems can be resolved straight away simply by talking to a member of staff or Manager of the service about what concerns you before it develops into a bigger issue. But if you remain unhappy and things are still not the way you expect please get in touch.
HOW CAN I MAKE A COMPLAINT?
A complaint can be made by you or someone on your behalf such as a relative and it can be communicated in a number of ways by:
Talking directly to frontline staff or the Manager of the service either in person or by telephone (whichever is appropriate).
In writing or alternatively by email to the appropriate service.
If you no longer have the contact details provided to you at the start of the service, you can find contact details for all Bryson Group Companies here. The complaints leaflet is also available for download below.
BRYSON’S 2 STEP PROCESS
We will deal with complaints within a simple 2 step process. At each step please provide us with as much detail as possible about what went wrong, when and where it happened.
Step 1: We will try and resolve your complaint straight away or as quickly as possible. However, if this is not possible we will take no longer than 10 working days.
The complaint will be handled by an appropriate member of staff (i.e. frontline staff member, Line Manager or Senior Manager) and this will be proportionate to the nature and seriousness of the issues raised and also the type of service the complaint relates to.
Step 2: If you remain unhappy an appeal can be made to the Director of the service, who will review the complaint and respond within 15 working days. If there is going to be a delay we will keep you informed of progress and will provide you with a realistic timescale for resolution.
