A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction from you about our services or
The complaints handling process itself, where it’s clear that you expect us to identify the
Cause of the problem and to take some kind of remedial action.
Making a complaint is as easy as possible;
- we treat a complaint as a clear expression of dissatisfaction with our service which calls
- for an immediate response;
- we deal with it promptly, politely and, when appropriate, confidentially;
- we respond in the right way, for example by giving you an explanation or an apology

Responsibilities
If the complaint is regarding our Apprenticeship Programme then they will be dealt with by the Director of Apprenticeships, who has overall responsibility for any complaint.

Informal complaint
Most complaints can be raised informally. This can be by telephone, email or conversation to a Ministry of Hair Academy staff member. These types of complaints can normally be resolved quickly and easily. All complaints are still passed to the Director of Apprenticeships for information purposes. All complaints are treated as confidential. We will try to have a resolution for within two days by the latest but this is not always possible.
Formal Complaint
If a complaint cannot be dealt with on an informal basis or the complaint does not get resolved satisfactorily then it will be referred as a formal complaint and will go to stage 2 of the complaints process.
Your complaint will be acknowledged within one working day. We aim to have a resolution within one week of receiving the complaint but this may not always be possible especially if it involves outside agencies. In those circumstances will keep you up to date and will assign a designated person to deal with your feedback or complaint.
For complaints of a more serious nature and or involve abuse or other issues this may involve the Lead Designated Safeguarding Officer.
We will not investigate any accusation or complaint that is malicious in nature or received anonymously.
Outcome
Once we have completed an investigation of complaint we will explain what went wrong and remedy the situation as soon as possible.
The Director of Apprenticeships will evaluate all of the information and ensure the appropriate action has been taken.
This policy is reviewed annually by Justine Carr Director of Apprenticeships
