How to make a complaint

If you feel unhappy with an experience you have had with Children 1st it is important that you tell us so we can make any improvements needed.

Resolve it with the service

If you have a concern, you can:

• speak to the staff involved
• speak to the manager of the service.

If you are not happy with the response, or if you do not want to speak to staff or the manager directly, you can make a formal complaint.
