Complaints Procedure

 

LH Mediation set high standards across the full range of services we offer. We aim to achieve those standards all of the time. Although seldom used, I have a procedure for dealing with complaints that ensures they are given proper attention.

LH Mediation aims to provide a responsive and timely service to all our clients. We will:

  • treat all complaints seriously and deal with them properly;
  • resolve complaints promptly; and
  • learn from complaints and take action to improve our service

How to complain
