Our Aim
Nantwich Tennis Club is committed to providing a quality service and working in an open and accountable way that builds trust and respect. One of the ways in which we can continue to improve our service is by listening and responding to the views of our members and visitors, and in particular by responding positively to complaints.
Therefore we aim to ensure that:
We recognise that many concerns will be raised informally, and dealt with quickly. We aim to resolve these informal concerns quickly and keep matters private. This policy ensures that we welcome compliments and provide guidelines for dealing with complaints from members of the public about our services, facilities, staff and volunteers.
Definitions
A compliment is an expression of satisfaction about the standard of service we provide.
A complaint is defined as any expression of dissatisfaction, however, it is expressed. This would include complaints expressed face to face, via a phone call, in writing, via email or any other method.
Purpose
We are always glad to hear from people who are satisfied with the services we offer. All compliments are recorded, acknowledged, and a copy is sent to the relevant service manager to provide feedback to the member of staff or service.
Complaints
The formal complaints procedure is intended to ensure that all complaints are handled fairly, consistently and wherever possible resolved to the complainant’s satisfaction.
Responsibilities
Nantwich Tennis Club’s responsibility will be to:
A complainant’s responsibility is to:
Confidentiality
Except in exceptional circumstances, every attempt will be made to ensure and maintain confidentiality. However, the circumstances giving rise to the complaint may be such that it may not be possible to maintain confidentiality (with each complaint judged on its facts). Should this be the case, the situation will be explained to the complainant.
This policy was last reviewed in March 2024 and will be reviewed every three years (or earlier if there is a change in national legislation).
