Reviewed 24/09/2021

ARMSCARE take all complaints seriously and value your opinion, we encourage you to tell us your concerns so we can put things right. 

 

We do understand that some people are worried about sharing their concerns and complaints with us, so we have a no blame policy and deal with all complaints as opportunities for improvement to our service.

Initially, a complaint can be raised with a senior member of the staff team, who will pass the complaint to the appropriate person

If the complaint is of a more serious nature, then it may take up to three months, due to other professional involvement (other agencies).

  • Leave a message in the Complaints Box in the reception area
