Complaints policy

PageGroup is committed to providing a quality service to our customers. If you are not satisfied with the level of service you have received from us we would like you to tell us about it. All complaints are taken very seriously and any feedback is appreciated as it provides us with an opportunity to improve our standards. All complaints and feedback are referred on to the dedicated Quality Care team. The team sit separately from the operational business and are responsible for objectively reviewing and investigating any concerns you may have without delay. 

If your complaint relates to how we handle your personal data, this will be treated as a data protection complaint and handled in accordance with UK data protection law. 

Requests relating to data protection rights (such as access, deletion, objection or rectification) can be submitted to us via our dedicated webform:

Data protection complaints may also be raised using the complaints process set out below. We will investigate and respond without delay and within applicable legal timeframes. 

You also have the right to raise your concerns directly with the UK supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Making a complaint to PageGroup does not affect your right to complain to the ICO at any time. 

If you would like to make a formal written complaint, you can contact our Quality Care department via email or by post: 

PageGroup 2nd Floor, 80 Strand, London WC2R 0DT

Procedure

1. We will send you written acknowledgement (email or letter), on receipt of your complaint within 5 working days.

Where a complaint includes data protection elements, these will be handled in coordination with PageGroup’s data protection function to ensure compliance with UK data protection law.
    
2. We will then record your complaints in our central register and start to investigate on your behalf. This is likely to involve the following steps:
   
   • Examining your record to ascertain the sequence of relevant events & related correspondence
   • Interviewing the relevant members of staff for clarification on the issue

5.  If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can make a written request for escalation of your complaint. The investigation will be reviewed by the senior manager, who will respond directly with her findings and conclusion.
