When customers contact us we will:

  • Respond quickly and efficiently in a clear manner to all enquiries
  • Provide clear, helpful and up to date information about our services through accessible channels.
  • Let customers know what will happen next, by when and by whom and deal with customers in a polite, professional and courteous manner.
  • Be honest with the customer and let them now if we are unable to deliver a service and offer alternatives/signpost to other service providers.
 

How we actively listen to our customers:

  • Encourage feedback through all avenues and take account of comments made in order to improve service delivery.
  • Empower our staff to provide solutions and to own the individual customer experience.
  • Where we have made a mistake we will seek to put the problem right at no cost to the customer.
  • We will enable our customers to have choice in how they wish to seek information, advice or interact with us.
