Complaints

1. Introduction

We always aim to provide a high standard of customer service to all Jura Community Shop members and customers.

2. Making a complaint

We aim to handle complaints quickly, effectively and in a fair and honest way. We take all complaints seriously and use valuable information from investigating to help us improve our service. We treat all complaints in confidence.

3. How you can make a complaint

You can complain by sending an email to: co.sec.jscic@gmail.com

Alternatively, you can send a written complaint, by post, to:

Company Secretary,
c/o Jura Community Shop,
Craighouse,
Isle of Jura PA60 7XS.

4. Anonymous complaints

We deal with anonymous complaints under the same procedure; however, it is better if you can provide contact details so we can tell you the outcome of our investigation.

5. How we handle complaints

The secretary will initially review the complaint. We will acknowledge a complaint within 5 working days and give you the name and contact details of the person investigating it.

A copy of your complaint will also be sent to the Chair of the Board.

We will keep you informed about the progress of the investigation. We aim to have all complaints completed within 28 working days unless we agree a different time scale with you.

6. Time limits

You should register a complaint as soon as you can after the date on which the event occurred. If you complain more than twelve months later, we may not be able to investigate properly. Consideration will, however, be given as to whether you had good reason for not making the complaint sooner and whether, despite the delay, it is still possible to investigate the complaint effectively and fairly.

7. Further information

This procedure does not replace any other processes or procedures that are in place. Where other processes or procedures are in place, which may be more relevant to your complaint, these will take precedent over this procedure. You will be advised in the acknowledgement to your complaint if another procedure applies.
