Complaints procedure

You can make a complaint by emailing complaints@musictutorshero.co.uk

Our customers’ views are important to us and help to ensure our services are consistently meeting people’s needs. If you are unhappy with any of our services it is important that you let us know.

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 the service we provide. We treat all complaints in confidence.

Complaints should be made as soon as possible after the date on which the event occurred or came to your notice. If you complain more than twelve months later, we may not be able to investigate properly. But we shall also consider 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.

Music Tutor’s Hero assures customers that it will not withdraw or reduce services because someone makes a complaint in good faith.

We will acknowledge a complaint within 5 working days and give you the name and contact details of the person investigating. We will keep you informed about the progress of the investigation and aim to have the complaint resolved within 28 working days unless we agree a different time scale with you. When we have finished investigating, we will inform you of proposals to resolve your complaint and detail any findings and any action taken.
