How we handle feedback and complaints
We are committed to providing a high-quality experience for everyone. We welcome all feedback on how we can improve and aim to resolve any complaint as quickly as possible.
We actively seek audience feedback through regular surveys and online feedback forms. This is usually anonymous, but if it highlights an issue that could be improved with immediate action, it will be passed on to the appropriate member of staff. Issues that cannot be remedied immediately are collated and considered as part of regular review meetings.
Our aim is to make this process accessible to all. If you experience any barriers in accessing this written policy, or in providing feedback or making a complaint in writing, please email [email protected] and we will be happy to discuss alternative formats that are accessible to you.
