Information on how to send feedback to Direct and Care Services

We want to provide the best possible service to all our customers.  You are the best people to tell us:

 

How we are doing

What we can do to improve a service

What problems you have experienced - let us apologise, put it right and stop it happening again.

 

This page has been produced to explain the different ways you can use to tell us what you think about Direct and Care Services.

To make a comment, compliment or complaint: 

  • talk to one of our reception staff, or phone 0141 353-9130, and we will try to resolve any difficulty there and then, or
  • complete the DACS feedback form which is also available in paper format from various locations and either hand it back to reception or post it to us (fold and seal form as detailed), or
  • write to us at the address shown on the form, or
  • fax 0141 353 9100, or
  • complete the online form accessible via Glasgow City Council’s website and choosing Direct and Care Services from the drop down menu.

What happens next?

In all cases your complaint will be acknowledged within five working days, investigated by the department and a full response provided in a further ten working days, or, if this is not possible, you will be advised when a response will be given, and why we are unable to fully respond at that time.

 

If you remain unhappy, you have the right to have the complaint considered by the Depute Director of Direct and Care Services.

 

If you are still unhappy with the response of the service, the office of the Chief Executive can then consider your complaint.

 

If you are dissatisfied with the final outcome of your complaint, you have the right to have the matter considered by the Scottish Public Service Ombudsman who can be contacted at:

 

4 Melville Street, Edinburgh EH3 7NS.

Phone 0870 011 5378 or visit the website.

You usually need to do this within 12 months of first experiencing the problem about which you are complaining.
