Make a complaint

What is a complaint?

A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction about the standard of service provided by or on behalf of Aberlour.

How to make a complaint

If you feel able to, you can:

  • Speak to the staff member
  • Speak to the service manager
They will do what they can to put things right straight away, and, if something has not been good enough, apologise and make changes. If you are still not happy, or if you prefer, you can ask for the complaint to be formally investigated.

Why it’s important to make a complaint

If you feel unhappy with an experience you have had with Aberlour we want to hear about it so we can look into it and make any improvements needed.

What happens with my complaint?

We will contact you about your complaint as quickly as possible. We will fully investigate the complaint. This means that we will work hard to find out what went wrong, and then we will try to fix it. In some cases we may need to speak to other people we work with, like schools, social workers or other people who may be involved.
