A complaint can be received either verbally or in writing and can be made by:

1. A service user
2. Someone acting on behalf of a service user and with their written consent, e.g. an advocate, relative, Member of Parliament, etc.
3. Someone acting on behalf of a service user who is unable to represent his or her own interests, provided this does not conflict with the resident’s right to confidentiality or a previously expressed wish of the resident.

A complaint can be made by telephone, in writing, by email, or in person. All responses will be made or followed up in writing (preferably email).

Once your complaint has been fully dealt with by At Home Support Services Ltd, if you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can complain to the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO). The LGO provides a free independent service. You can contact the LGO Advice Team for information and advice, or to register your complaint:

Telephone: 0300 061 0614
Email: advice@lgo.org.uk

The LGO will not usually investigate a complaint until the provider has had an opportunity to respond and resolve matters.

Our service is registered with and regulated by the CQC. The CQC cannot get involved in individual complaints about providers, but is happy to receive information about our services at any time. You can contact the CQC at:
