We review each complaint to see how we can ensure they don’t happen again. As a result of complaints received in the last year, we’ve implemented training, reviewed communications, added functionality to systems and updated policies.

We publish “lessons learned” on our website, where customers can see what the original issue was and the solution brought in to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
