Complaints Procedure

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that service users are satisfied with the services they receive, we do realise that from time to time complaints may arise and the Agency has a written Complaints Procedure, a copy of which can be obtained from our offices upon request.

In the first instance the complaint should be reported to the Registered Manager of the Agency:-

Registered Manager
All About Care (South West) Ltd
G8 Lynch Lane Offices
Lynch Lane
Weymouth
Dorset DT4 9DN
Telephone 01305 26117

The Registered Manager will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within seven days and then carry out a detailed investigation of the circumstances surrounding the complaint. You will then receive a letter detailing the outcome of this investigation within the next fourteen days. If your complaint is upheld then the relevant action will be taken and you will be informed in writing of the outcome. We will strive to learn and continually improve our service.

Should you feel that your complaint has not been dealt with to your satisfaction you should refer the matter to:-

Nominated Individual
