Help making a complaint - adult social care
Where to start
For many people, the first step to making a complaint is taking some time to think about what went wrong, what the service could have done better, and what you'd like to happen as a result of your complaint. This will help you to make the complaint as well as helping the service to address your concerns. You normally have 12 months after an incident to make a complaint.
It can help to put together any documents relating to the problem so that you are able to talk about these during the complaints process. You may also want to gather other information to help you prepare for your complaint - such as reading the complaints policy to help you know what to expect.
