Adult social care complaints and compliments
Usually, the best people to fix your problem will be the team who provided you with the service. Before making a complaint, talk to them about what has gone wrong as they may be able to fix the issue quickly. You can also ask the complaints Team to do this for you - we call this a ‘representation’.
However, if that hasn't been successful or you feel a formal complaint is more appropriate, the complaints team will:
- give you information about the complaints process and support you to make a complaint, or
- give you information about others who might be able to help
- keep you up to date as the investigation progresses, and talk to you about timescales
You can make a complaint the following ways:
- using the online form
- writing to us at the address shown below
- emailing sscomplaints@southwark.gov.uk
Anything you tell us will only be shared with those who need to be told, to get to the bottom of things and put them right.
