Non-Medical Helper Support Complaints Policy
What to do if you are unhappy with our service
The Disability and Dyslexia Service (DDS) aims to provide an exemplary service to all our students. However we recognise that, even in the best run organisations, there may be a time when you are dissatisfied with the service we provide.
This complaints policy is here so that you know what you should do if you are dissatisfied, wish to raise a concern, or make a formal complaint about any aspect of the support we provide. We will treat any concern or complaint raised in a confidential and professional manner.
The policy below is relevant to any service we are providing to you funded by the Disabled Student Allowance. Complaints about other aspects of our service can be dealt with through the University Complaints Policy.
Other help available
Who to speak to for additional support
You may want some help or advice regarding your complaint and wish to speak to somebody outside of the University of Chichester Disability and Dyslexia Service.
In this situation you may wish to contact the Needs Assessor who carried out your original Study Aids and Strategies Support Assessment for the Disabled Student Allowance. You can find their contact details on your report document.
You may also wish to discuss your concerns with the University of Chichester Students’ Union by emailing studentsunion@chi.ac.uk.
Disability and Dyslexia Service Policies
The policies are available to download in both pdf and doc format.
