Comments, compliments and complaints

We believe that the best way to improve services is by learning from the people who use them. We welcome comments, compliments and complaints from people who use our services, carers and the people we come into contact with in our work. These help us to see what we are doing well and where we can make improvements to our services.

Comments and compliments

If you’ve had a good experience, or there’s something you really like about a Together service, we’d like to hear about it. If there’s something you want to say about the service you receive or you have ideas about changes we could make that would improve them, please let us know.

“If you’ve had a good experience, or there’s something you want to say about the service you receive, we’d like to hear about it.”

You can either pass your compliments or comments on to a worker or put them in writing. There will be information about who to write to, or a form for you to fill in if you prefer, at your local service.
