Feedback Policy & Procedures

Introduction

We collect feedback from individuals and organisations on a regular basis to help us plan improvements. We collect Feedback throughout the year after speaking with people, and through our annual Feedback Survey. Feedback may be provided by email, web foms, telephone, post or face-to-face in groups. Groups or individual interviews will be set up to get detailed feedback on specific issues.

How we collect feedback and what we do with it

We record feedback on our standard forms and review responses at team meetings. We also collate Feedback annually to identify trends and issues.

We are committed to improving services continuously. We will use the feedback:

· To feed issues into our team meetings to shape project developments

· To make immediate improvements if necessary

· To analyse trends and use emerging issues to plan for long-term improvements, eg, staff training and resource issues.

Confidentiality

All feedback will be treated in confidence within the team. Permission will be sought to record information against a person’s name. A person’s name will not be used when discussing feedback with another organisations unless prior permission is given, eg, in the case of negative feedback or a complaint.
