  • saying thank you and passing on compliments to staff  
  • raising a concern/making an informal complaint

Please contact PALS if you wish to raise a concern. We will: 

  • aim to resolve any concerns or problems you have as promptly as possible 
  • listen to your views and comments 
  • aim to instigate changes to improve our services 
  • guide you through the Trust’s formal complaints process if you feel your concerns have not been resolved satisfactorily  
  • give you information about external independent services who can assist you if you want to make a formal complaint.
