How to complain
Wight to be Happy Ltd would like to sort out any complaint as soon as possible.
Many complaints can be resolved informally. In the first instance contact Wight to be Happy Ltd and, if you feel able to, speak to the member of staff who is working with you or ask to speak to one of the organising team, who will try to sort the matter out.
If you make contact in person or by phone, make a note of the name of the person you speak to. If a solution is offered at this point, make a note of this as well.
If you are not satisfied or do not wish an informal solution, you may pursue a formal complaint.
Write down your complaint and send it to:
Sandy Hector
Woodlands
Quarr Road
Ryde
Isle of Wight PO33 4EL

What Happens Next?
You will receive acknowledgement of your complaint within 5 working days. You may be contacted to make sure that we have understood your complaint properly. You may be interviewed by the person investigating the complaint.
You will receive a response to your complaint within 28 working days of its receipt. Any extension of this time limit requires your consent.
Does this always happen?
In all cases, a complaint will be given full and fair consideration.
However, if as a result of your complaint, disciplinary proceedings are taken against a member of the team, an internal procedure will apply. You will be informed that disciplinary proceedings have taken place, but as these proceedings are confidential, you will only be informed of the details or outcome of matters outside of this procedure.
If a criminal offence is alleged, then the police will be informed.
Can you have someone with you when your complaint is discussed?
Yes, you can.
Can you take your complaint elsewhere?
Yes. You can contact The Legal Ombudsman 0101 245 3050 enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk
