Stage 1
We will aim to send an acknowledgment of your complaint within 3 working days.
Your complaint will then be passed to our complaints team or other appropriate person who was not directly involved in the events related to the complaint. We will aim to respond to you substantively as soon as possible, and in any event within 5 working days. We may need to contact you to ask for more information or clarity before making a final response.

Stage 2
We expect most complaints to be resolved at stage one. However, if you consider the response you have received is not fair or appropriate, you may contact us to request a review of your complaint by our Customer Service Manager (currently Jen Allen). You should do this within 10 working days of receiving a stage one response.
We will aim to acknowledge your request to review the complaint within five working days of receipt. Again, we may need to contact you to ask for more information or clarity before making a final decision. We will aim to respond within 20 working days of receipt.
If you remain dissatisfied
If you remain dissatisfied, we reserve the right to request that any complaints are resolved by an independent third party, such as a mediator, before the complaint is put before the court.
If mediation is requested by us, you and us will enter into mediation in good faith to resolve the complaint and will do so in accordance with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR). Unless otherwise agreed between the parties within 10 working days of notice of the dispute, the mediator will be nominated by CEDR.
