COMPLAINTS PROCEEDURE

A Complaint is a statement about expectations that have not been met. 

At Compassion Direct UK – CDUK, we treat a complaint as an opportunity to improve our procedures and practices.

A Complaints Procedure is a formally agreed procedure for the way in which CDUK will deal with received complaints.

This guide has been designed to help you with your complaint, explaining how to make a formal complaint, how it will be dealt with and what you can expect from us.

If you have a complaint contact the volunteer you originally dealt with.  They should be familiar with your situation and may be able to clear up any misunderstanding.

If you remain dissatisfied you may wish to make a formal complaint.  This can be submitted by email or by post.
