Making a complaint
If you have any concerns regarding the way we have dealt with your affairs, please contact the person you have been dealing with to try and resolve them. We know most of these initial concerns can be resolved this way without the need to make complaint.
If you do wish to complain, our standards and guidance on how to do this are set out in our
'Code of Practice on Complaints' (PDF 658Kb) leaflet.
