We often hear from people looking for more information and advice about what they can do if they have concerns or complaints.

Making a complaint can feel daunting and scary, and you might be wondering whether it’s worth the time and effort. However, if you are unhappy with the treatment or care you, a family member, or someone you care for has received, making a complaint can help providers and commissioners to learn, and improve services.
