Introduction

Knowing why you need a complaint handling process may be an essential step, but actually getting down to producing a policy which deals with all of the appropriate issues is quite another. In this section we look at some of the factors to be borne in mind and some of the issues which will need to be addressed. This, combined with our draft complaint policy for clients, should help to make the task an easier one.

The content of this section is available to registered members of our web site. Registration is free. Just go to the registration page and fill in your user name and email address. When you then log in all of the information will be available to you.
