* All complaints will be entered into our formal Complaints Register.

* Non-routine serious complaints will be handled by senior staff with adequate expertise, training and experience to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

* We’ll promptly acknowledge, in writing, to the client receipt of such complaint and furnish the client with details of the contact person at our organisation who’ll be involved with the investigation and resolution of the complaint.

* All complaints received from clients will be handled in a timely and fair manner, with each complaint receiving proper consideration in a process that’s managed appropriately and effectively.

* We undertake to inform the client of the outcome of the investigation relating to the complaint within 48 business hours of receipt of the initial written complaint.

* In a case where the complaint is resolved in favour of and to the satisfaction of the client, we ensure that a full and appropriate level of redress is offered to the client without any further delays.

* In a case where the complaint isn’t resolved to the client’s satisfaction, we’ll ensure that the client is made aware of their rights. * We undertake to maintain a record of complaints received for a period of 5 years, together with an indication of whether or not such complaints were resolved.

Basic principles of our internal complaints resolution system

Our internal complaints resolution system is based on the following basic principles:

* The maintenance of a complaints policy manual which outlines our commitment to, and the systems and procedures we employ, for the internal resolution of any complaint submitted by a client against us or 1 or more of our representatives.

* Our procedures for the resolution of any complaint are transparent and visible to all clients ensuring that the client has full knowledge thereof.

* Clients are easily able to access such procedures through any of our offices which are open to clients or through the postal system, telephone/electronic means, including our website.

* Ensure that the resolution of the complaint is done so in a fair manner giving equal opportunities to all parties to make their submissions regarding the complaint.

* Ensure adequate training of all relevant staff on the procedure to follow when a complaint has been submitted by a client.

* All complaints will be followed-up at an operational level to ensure avoidance of similar occurrences that might give rise to complaints and to improve services, systems and procedures where necessary.

* Complaints records will be maintained for a minimum period of 5 years together with an indication of whether or not such complaint was resolved and all cases of non-compliance with the legislation and the reasons for such non-compliance.
