Healthywork Policies

Healthywork Policies – Complaints Policy

Healthywork Ltd and its policies are committed to providing a high-level service to our clients. If you do not receive satisfaction from us, we need to hear from you. This will help us to improve our standards.

Therefore, we aim to ensure that:

  • making a complaint is as easy as possible;
  • we treat a complaint as a clear expression of dissatisfaction with our service, which calls for an immediate response;
  • we deal with it promptly, politely and confidentially, and
  • we learn from complaints, use them to improve our service, and review annually our complaints policy and procedures.

We recognise that many concerns will be raised informally and dealt with quickly. Our aims are to:

  • resolve informal concerns quickly;
  • keep matters low-key and
  • enable mediation between the complainant and the individual to whom the complaint has been referred.

An informal approach is appropriate when it can be achieved. However, if concerns cannot be satisfactorily resolved informally, then the formal complaints procedure should be followed.

Healthywork Policies – Complaints Procedure

If you have a complaint, please contact Alison Biggs, Director.

You can write to the Director at: Healthywork Ltd, PO Box 545, Abbots Langley, Nr Watford, Hertfordshire, WD5 5AN, or email: alison@healthywork.org.uk
