What happens next

Who reads it, and when you’ll hear

  1. It goes straight to the right person

    Your complaint goes to the Managing Director’s office at complaints@tlc-uk.org, which logs every formal complaint and makes sure it reaches the right person.

  2. You get a reference number

    As soon as you send the form you will see a reference, and we email it to you if you have given us an address. Quote it whenever you contact us about this.

  3. An acknowledgement within 3 working days

    We will acknowledge your complaint within 3 working days and tell you who is handling it. You will have a written response within 15 working days. If you are not satisfied with it, you can ask for a review within 10 working days of our response.
