Public Feedback & Complaints Policies & Procedures

Purpose

Feedback, both positive and negative, from service users, and the general public is important to Nurture Health. It enables us to ensure that the services we provide and the manner in which we provide them, is in line with client’s needs and best practice in the area of women’s wellbeing.

The purpose of this policy and the procedures that accompany it are to encourage and respond to feedback in an effective and efficient manner. Any complaints are taken very seriously and dealt with in a timely manner.

Applicability

This policy applies to the Managing Director of Nurture Health and all its counsellors.

Policy

It is the policy of Nurture Health to ensure that all our communications and work with clients, are of the highest possible standard.  It is our policy to listen and respond to their views so that we can continue to improve our support services.

Nurture Health welcomes both positive and negative feedback therefore we aim to ensure that:

  • It is as easy as possible to give feedback
  • We treat a complaint as a clear expression of dissatisfaction with our support services, which calls for a swift response
  • We treat a complaint very seriously whether it is made by telephone, letter, e-mail or in person
  • We deal with a complaint quickly, politely and efficiently (within 7 days).
  • We respond accordingly – e.g. with an explanation or apology where we have got things wrong and with information on any action to be taken
  • We learn from feedback and use it to improve our support services
