  • Aim to answer all calls within 2 minutes and identify ourselves.
  • Deal with your enquiry at the first point of contact whenever possible.
  • Deal with your enquiry in a polite and helpful manner.
  • Call you back in response to messages by the end of the next working day.

Letters and emails – we will:

  • Acknowledge any emails or letters you send us within three working days and provide a full response within 10 working days. If we need more time to reply, we will let you know when you can expect a full response.
  • Respond in a clear and understandable way, using plain language and respond to all the points you have made.

When you visit us – we will:

  • Keep our public areas clean and tidy, displaying up-to-date information.
  • Ensure reception areas are accessible to people with disabilities.

  • Your ethnic origin, sex and disability – to help us monitor whether we are delivering a fair, unbiased and accessible service 
  • Your preferences – such as how and when you prefer to be contacted
  • Your needs – such as large print letters, interpreting or translation, or help if your mobility is limited 
  • Your area, your home and the services we or our contractors or partners provide to you

If we ask you for information we will explain what we need, and by when. Personal data
