Scope

 

This procedure details how you can raise a complaint about our Branch as a member of the  public. We have different internal procedures for complaints from volunteers and staff.

​

Who can complain

 

Data protection legislation requires us to only process complaints that come from people who have had direct contact with our Branch, preventing us from corresponding with third parties about complaints. This means that we cannot help you if you would like to complain on behalf of a family member, friend, or someone else - unless you have Power of Attorney.

​

Animal cruelty complaints

 

The complaints procedure is not set up to handle animal welfare concerns about an animal that is not in our care. Please contact National RSPCA in this instance: www.rspca.org.uk
