Langdon believes that everyone who comes into contact with the organisation should be treated with the highest standards of professional care and respect. We welcome your views, so let us know what we do well and what we can do better. We take what you tell us seriously and regularly report on our compliments and complaints to Langdon’s Trustee Board. Your feedback will help us to improve and to meet the high standards we strive to attain.

It is good to hear when we do something well, it helps us to do even better. For those staff and volunteers who go ‘above and beyond’, we would like them to know that they are valued and respected. Let us know if someone is making a difference to you.

If you have a concern, suggestion or idea you would like to share with us, then we would like to hear your views.

Our aim is to resolve complaints or concerns as speedily as possible.

  • Please inform the person in charge if you are concerned about something. It is quite possible they will be able to sort out the problem straight away. If the problem cannot be resolved immediately, you will receive a response within 7 working days. If more time is required, you will be informed of the reason in writing.
  • If you are not satisfied with the response or feel unable to discuss your concern with the person in charge, you can call us, write to us, or complete and return the attached form.
  • We will send you a written acknowledgement of your complaint within 7 working days of receiving it. Following a thorough investigation, you will receive a full response within 28 days.
  • You may, of course, arrange to meet the person conducting the investigation to discuss your concerns at any time during the process.
  • If you remain dissatisfied, your complaint will be referred to a Langdon Director for further consideration. The Director will provide you with the final decision in writing within 28 calendar days unless we have previously agreed on an alternative deadline.
  • We will cooperate fully with anyone acting on your behalf, subject to their having the appropriate authority to do so.
