How to tell us about your Comment, Compliment or Complaint
If you want to make a complaint about social services and would like someone to help and support you, we can get you an advocate. An advocate is someone who doesn’t work for the council who will help you to make your complaint.
What happens next?
When we receive you Comment, Compliment or Complaint we will write to you to let you know we’ve got it and what we will do. If you’ve made a complaint we will tell you the name of the person who is going to try and sort out the problem and when by. Once your complaint has been answered we will contact you to see if you are happy. If you don’t think your complaint has been sorted out we can tell you what you can do next.
Other action you can take.
If you’re not happy with how your complaint is handled, you may want to contact the Local Government Ombudsman. You can do this at any time. The Ombudsman usually expects the Council to have had the chance to look into your complaint first. You can contact them on 0300 061 0614 or write to: Local Government Ombudsman, PO Box 4771, Coventry, CV4 0EH
