Complaints Procedure
Your Oakley Stitchers team take concerns and complaints very seriously.
If you have a complaint about our organisation we want to hear about it and we will do our best to put it right, as soon as possible.
Our Complaints Procedure has the following goals:
What is a complaint?
A concern or complaint is an objection or criticism of something that has been found to be unfair, unacceptable, or otherwise not up to normal standards. It can be an expression of dissatisfaction within any area of Oakley Stitchers CIC.
How to complain
We are always interested to hear from anyone who wishes to raise a concern or complaint, we are constantly learning. All feedback therefore, is valued and helps support us to provide an ongoing and better service to our supporters, staff, volunteers or recipients.
Usually, complaints can be resolved informally. Therefore, we request that you contact your project, group leader or administrator for support in the first instance.
If this is not possible or appropriate, please contact one of the senior leadership team @oakleystitchers@gmail.com
If you make contact in person or by phone, make a note of the name of the person you speak to. If a solution is offered at this point, make a note of this as well.
If you are not satisfied or do not wish an informal solution, you may pursue a formal complaint.
Write down your complaint and send it to:

What will we do on receiving your complaint?
We endeavour at all times, to treat you with understanding and respect during the process. We ask is that you do the same for all of our staff too.
All confidential information in relation to your complaint will be handled sensitively. Please be sure to mention if you wish any elements of your discussions with our staff to be kept confidential, to prevent any misunderstanding.
We are unable to respond to any anonymous complaints or matters for which the charity is not directly responsible.
How long will it take to respond?
We endeavour to respond fully and conclusively to all complaints within 20 working days.
You will receive acknowledgement of your complaint within 5 working days of receipt. You will be contacted to make sure that we have understood your complaint properly. This may also involve an interview by the person investigating the complaint.
Whenever possible we will deal with any complaint or concern as quickly as possible, if we think it will take longer than the 20 days, we will let you know.
If an in-depth investigation is required we aim to provide a response within 30 working days.
