How we will respond
We acknowledge your feedback, complaint or compliment within two business days.
If your feedback is a complaint, we investigate to establish what action can be taken to achieve a suitable outcome.
We communicate the outcome and any actions taken. If you are not satisfied, you can let us know and we will review further.
When your feedback is received, we will acknowledge receipt of it to you. If you have a complaint, we will investigate and aim to resolve it to your satisfaction as quickly as possible. The resolution will depend on the nature of the complaint and the actions required.
We will keep you or the complainant informed during the resolution process and, as is appropriate, what we will do to prevent it from happening again.
If we can’t resolve your complaint, we’ll explain why and let you know your other options. If you are unhappy with the outcome, we can help you to escalate the matter within SSI or make a complaint to an external organisation.
Please keep in mind, if you provide feedback or a complaint to us via posted letter it may take us longer to acknowledge receipt of your complaint.
Is my complaint private?
We are committed to maintaining your privacy and confidentiality.
When you make a complaint, you can choose to remain anonymous. SSI always tries to resolve a complaint at the local level. If you don’t want to speak to our staff, or the local manager, you can tell us that in the complaint and we will determine the best person for you to speak to.
We will only tell people who need to know to help us fix the problem.
