Making a complaint
BHAS wants to exceed expectations in everything we do in relation to
handling members' personal data.. However, we know that there may be
times when we do not meet our own high standards. When this happens,
we want to hear about it, in order to deal with the situation as
quickly as possible and put measures in place to stop it happening again.
We take complaints very seriously and we treat them as an opportunity
to develop our approach. This is why we are always very grateful to
hear from people who are willing to take the time to help us improve.
Our policy is:
Confidentiality
All complaint information will be handled sensitively, in line with
relevant data protection requirements.
Responsibility
Overall responsibility for this policy and its implementation lies
with the Honorary Secretary of Brighton and Hove Archaeological
Society.
