Complaints not covered by this Policy
Please note that this Complaints Policy does not cover:
a) Matters that have already been fully investigated and considered resolved through this complaints procedure, unless new evidence is available.

Handling Complaints
We will accept complaints made by any reasonable means. If a complaint is not in writing, we may ask for the details to be put in writing or we may write to you by letter or email setting out our understanding of the complaint. On receipt of a complaint:
1. We will write to you within 2 business days of receiving it to acknowledge the complaint and confirm that we are dealing with it.

We will endeavor to do this without identifying you if this is possible. You may advise us that you will not allow us to identify you as the complainant but in such circumstances it may be impossible for us to complete our review of your complaint.
