What kind of feedback can I provide?
We recognise the rights of all people to lodge a complaint or provide feedback about any aspect of our services. We value your feedback and are here to help.
You can provide feedback or submit a complaint to Life Without Barriers about:
- A service – are these delivered in line with what you want?
- A member of staff
- How you were treated
- Something else – are we doing well? Where can we do better?
How we will respond
When your complaint is received, we will acknowledge receipt of it to you. The resolution will depend on the nature of the complaint and the actions required. We will endeavour to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible
We will keep you or the complainant informed during the resolution process and, as is appropriate, what we will do to prevent it from happening again.
If we can’t resolve your complaint, we’ll explain why and let you know your other options. If you are unhappy with the outcome, we can help you to escalate the matter within MK Home Care or make a complaint to an external organisation.
Please keep in mind, if you provide feedback or a complaint to us via posted letter it may take us longer to acknowledge receipt of your complaint.
Is my complaint private?
We are committed to maintaining your privacy and confidentiality.
When you make a complaint, you can choose to remain anonymous. MK Home Care always try to resolve a complaint at the local level. If you don’t want to speak to your worker, or the local manager, you can tell us that in the complaint and we will determine the best person for you to speak to.
We will only tell people who need to know to help us fix the problem.
