Make a complaint about a registered care service

We are committed to keeping The Promise and delivering our responsibilities as a corporate parent. If a child or young person is unhappy about the standard of care they are receiving, or want to talk to someone in confidence, they can now:

  • send us a text directly on 07870 981785.

Whichever method you use to get in touch, we will:

  • send you an acknowledgement within three working days 

  • keep you informed of the method assessed as appropriate to resolve your complaint

  • where we carry out an investigation we aim to complete the investigation within 40 working days 

  • let you know if we think there will be a delay and explain why

  • let you know our findings and the outcome.

Our animation co-designed with our young inspection volunteers demonstrates The Promise in action – by making sure that our young people’s voices authentically influence our work.
