Complaints and investigations
Children's Services
The team ensures the provision of a high quality and responsive
complaints, representations, enquiries, comments and access to
personal records service, to service users, their carers and other
internal and external customers.
The team manages, coordinates, monitors and
develops complain functions throughout the whole of Children’s
Services, including the Children’s Trust.
Also included are enquiries from:
- Council Members
- Members of Parliament
- requests for access to personal records
- requests under Freedom of Information
- compliments.
The Manager acts as an adviser on all related
issues to the Director of Children’s
Services, Chief Officers and Senior
Management Team.
The Complaints and Investigation Manager is the designated
complaints officer (DCO) who monitors the actions of staff dealing
with complaints to ensure that the legal and procedural
requirements of legislation are being met. The Manager also
has a leading role to ensure the council meets its statutory duties
in respect of complaints and representations relating to Children’s
Services under all relevant legislation.
Will this team investigate my complaint?
No, but they will look and act on your behalf and always try and
find the best way, possibly by speaking with the service area, of
providing you with an answer to your complaint.
Is the complaints procedure a long one?
There are timescales attached at each stage of the complaint
process and the complaints team will advise you what they are.
