The policy is to ensure that:
• Anyone with a complaint is listened to and treated with courtesy, empathy and fairness.

• We offer apologies where appropriate.
• Action to rectify the cause of the complaint is identified, implemented and evaluated.

Complaints process

Making a complaint

CPRE Somerset is committed to providing customers with the best possible service, but we recognise that sometimes things go wrong. We’re always happy to receive comments, feedback and suggestions for improvement. Please get in touch with us in any of the following ways:

By email admin@cpresomerset.org.uk

By post CPRE Somerset

Wells
Somerset

By phone 07553 501437

We aim to acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days and send a formal response within 10 working days. Our staff work part time and, if they are away, this may take longer. If for any reason we’re unable to respond to your complaint in the given timelines, we’ll keep you informed as to the reasons why and we’ll give you an updated timeline for response.

Your personal information
If you use our complaints procedure, you’re agreeing that we can use any personal information you send us for the purposes connected with your complaint. We’ll only give your personal information to third parties if required to do so in relation to your complaint.
If you’re not happy with the outcome of your complaint, you can contact the Charity Commission (0845 300 0218 or www.charitycommission.gov.uk) for advice.
