We try very hard to provide a high quality of service, however, from time to time misunderstandings do occur. If you have a concern about the way your matter is dealt with, please first speak with your caseworker who is the person who is principally dealing with your case. If the matter cannot be resolved, please refer the complaint to the file supervisor. If, however, you would prefer to speak to any other member of staff, please do not hesitate to do so.
If you would like to speak to or contact someone other than the caseworker, please contact Rob Chandler. If you would prefer to contact someone else, please contact Elena Jacobs. If you feel that the matter has not been resolved to your satisfaction, you can bring a complaint to the attention of the Legal Ombudsman if you are not happy with our work or service and need to put things right.
