In addition, 98.0% of our clients agreed that they were treated with dignity and respect at all times.

surrounding the incident/s
following the investigation a full response will be made to you within a reasonable time, usually
between three to four weeks. Should there be any delays in this process you will be kept
informed.
Unresolved Complaints
Should you be dissatisfied with the response received, you have recourse to appeal to the Director
