COMPLAINTS

Listening, responding, improving: a guide to better customer care (26th February 2009)
From the 1st April 2009, there will be a single approach to dealing with complaints. It will give organisations the flexibility they need to deal with complaints effectively. It will also encourage a culture that seeks and then uses people’s experiences to make services more effective, personal and safe.

The guide ‘Listening, Responding, Improving’ has been developed to help complaints professionals work with colleagues to make their organisations better at listening, responding and learning from people’s experiences.
