• VA Briefing 155 – Handling complaints

Dealing with complaints can be stressful and unpleasant, but handling them promptly and thoroughly – with the aid of a clear complaints procedure - can make the process much more straightforward. Creating a procedure that’s right for your group doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming, and could save you a great deal of time and effort in the long run. With the right approach, a complaint can provide important feedback… and even strengthen your voluntary arts group.

This Briefing explains the importance of setting up a complaints procedure, explores the best way to handle complaints and looks at how your voluntary arts group could use a complaint to build positively on its reputation.
