Help us to help you
You are our customer and it is our responsibility to provide you with the best customer service we can. You can help us to do this by:
making comments, complaints or suggestions about the service you receive;
completing and returning any customer survey questionnaire that we send you;
giving us all the information we need to help you; and
treating our staff the way you would like to be treated yourself.
In addition to your feedback, we plan to carry out customer surveys every year. We will publish the statistical findings of these surveys on our website.
Tell us how we are doing
We welcome your comments, suggestions and views on any aspect of our service. We believe this will help us to serve you better. You can help us provide the best possible service to you, by telling us how well you think we are performing compared to your expectations.
It is important for us to know what is and is not working well from a customer service perspective. If you tell us when you have received excellent customer service, it will help us to recognise the efforts of our staff and identify best practices that can be used across our organisation. If you tell us when you have received poor customer service, it will help us to recognise an area that we may need to improve on.
