To aid you in the process, CBM UK defines a complaint as:
An expression of discontent by a person or persons receiving a service from CBM UK that cannot immediately be resolved at the point of delivery and about which the complainant desires a follow-up action to be taken and a response provided.
In the case of a complaint related to fundraising:
An expression of dissatisfaction at any aspect of CBM UK’s fundraising activities including administrative practices or procedures; and acts carried out by third party suppliers.
The easiest way to get in touch is by completing our online complaints form.
Alternatively you can:
Please include your name, address and contact telephone number in your letter or email so that we can get back in touch with you easily.
We will acknowledge your complaint within five working days of receiving it and tell you when you can expect a full response. We will investigate the matter fully and respond to you by an appropriate channel. We will record your complaint and, if appropriate, put steps in place to improve our procedures.
We will consider how we can fix the problem to prevent it happening again.
We will always treat you with courtesy and respect, listen to what you say and tell you who to go to if you want to escalate your complaint further.
We will handle all information sensitively, telling only those who need to know and following any relevant data protection requirements
If a complaint is to do with a matter that does not relate directly to what CBM has done or that we are not in a position to comment on, we will not engage in lengthy debate.
On rare occasions we may not respond at all. These may include:
When a complaint has obviously been sent to us and numerous other organisations as part of a bulk mailing or email. We will decide whether we feel it is necessary to respond.
When a complaint is anonymous. In this instance we will investigate what is said and use the information to improve in any way we can.
If you don’t feel that our Supporter Relations Team has resolved your complaint to your satisfaction, you may write by letter. Please outline the details of the complaint, why you have not been satisfied with our response and what you would like us to do to put thing right.
