Complaints procedure


Meningitis Research Foundation makes every effort to provide high quality services, to be honest and open, caring and professional. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative.

We welcome all your comments and aim to deal with them swiftly and effectively. We share positive feedback with staff and volunteers, so they can see what we do well. We regret we are only able to reply to correspondence from the countries listed above.

If you have a complaint, the procedure is:

Stage 1

It will be acknowledged within five working days. The acknowledgement will set out who will deal with the complaint and a timescale within which a full reply will be given. It may ask for further information.

Stage 2

The charity tries to resolve any complaint at the point of contact - ideally by the member of staff receiving the complaint, who will investigate the complaint.

Stage 3

We will decide the appropriate course of action.

Stage 4

We will reply stating what we have discovered and the outcome. This may be done:

  • by letter;
  • by telephone;
  • by e-mail;
  • by fax;
  • in person or through a representative;
  • through an evaluation questionnaire in appropriate cases.

If you are not satisfied, you can write to us saying how you think your complaint has not been sufficiently dealt with, and a report will be passed to a manager to investigate further.

If the complainant remains dissatisfied with the management or outcome of their complaint they may make an appeal to the Chief Executive, whose decision will normally be binding. If the complaint is about the Chief Executive, the matter will be referred to the Chair of Trustees.
