Complaints

Each member of staff within the NHSBSA has a responsibility to provide good customer service and to try to resolve customer concerns as quickly, fairly and thoroughly as possible.

The NHSBSA views complaints as an opportunity to learn how we can continue to improve the services we provide to our customers. Where applicable, action will be taken to ensure that a similar problem does not occur again. 

We will always try to resolve a complaint at the earliest opportunity without escalating to the formal procedure. If this is not possible, then there is a formal process available.  You can view our complaints procedure here and you may also find the supporting flowchart useful.

Due to differing legislation surrounding some of our services such as pensions and student grants, we have to handle some complaints differently. This is explained in the procedure.

Any member of staff who you have been in contact with should be able to help you with any complaint. Alternatively, you can contact one of the people below.
