A message from the Chief Executive:

If you are dissatisfied with a services or the way you have been treated, please let us know

Your complaint should be made in writing within 3 months of the event occurring. At our discretion, this time limit may be extended if there is a good enough reason that the complaint could not have been made within that time.

Your complaint will be investigated and dealt with as quickly as possible.
Your complaint should state:

  • what, in your opinion, we did wrong or did not do;
  • how you were affected by this;
  • what you feel we should now do about it.

All complaints are usually responded to in writing.
You should normally get a reply in 10 working days. If the complaint takes longer than usual to deal with because of its gravity or complexity, the investigating officer will keep in touch with you to let you know what is happening.

What if I want a second opinion?

If, after having your complaint investigated, you are still not satisfied, you can contact the Chief Executive, who will carry out a review, again the response will normally be in 10 working days.

Still not happy?

If you remain dissatisfied, you can ask for the issue to be reviewed by The TREES Group Main Board. At this stage, you need to tell us why you feel such a review is necessary and what you expect to happen as a result of it. The Main Board will then review the complaint at their next scheduled meeting. All complaints are taken seriously, although any complaints made anonymously cannot be responded to. If you do wish to make a complaint, you can be assured of confidentiality where this is appropriate or requested. Where the complaint is of a serious enough nature, The TREES Group may direct you to the Main Board in the first instance.
