If you engage in services with Parents Plus charity and would like to provide positive or negative feedback, or you are unhappy with the service, please be rest assured that we welcome feedback so that we can continue to improve. 

Therefore we aim to ensure that:

• it is as easy as possible to make a complaint
• we treat as a complaint any clear expression of dissatisfaction with our operations which calls for a response
• we treat it seriously whether it is made by telephone, letter, fax, email or in person
• we deal with it quickly and politely
• we respond accordingly, e.g. with an explanation, or an apology where we have got things wrong, and information on any action taken etc
• we learn from complaints, use them to improve, and monitor them with our Board of Directors

If you do have a complaint about any aspect of our work, you can contact Cherie Tyner in writing or by telephone.  In the first instance, your complaint will be dealt with by our CEO (or other named office holder with sufficient seniority to address the complaint).  Please give us as much information as possible and let us know how you would like us to respond to you, providing relevant contact details.
