COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
Bellaire Farms Complaints Procedure has three stages. Regular monitoring reports are prepared for information and to ensure that any necessary action is taken.
Stage 1 – At the point of service delivery
The initial point of service delivery is our website atbellairfarms.com. Any complaints received will normally be received via email, our contact form or from a phone call. This means that the complaint will normally be received quickly and an equally quick response is expected by you the customer. We will endeavor to get it right the first time but if we can’t we will escalate to someone who can.
Stage 2 – within relevant Department/area
Some complaints are specific to certain functions and may be passed along to that functional area for speedy handling. Prior to providing a general stage 1 response an assessment must be made to determine if further investigation is required.
The complaint will then be investigated fully and objectively by the area concerned or an appropriate person nominated to do so. You will be told who is dealing with your complaint, kept informed about progress and action being taken if the review of the complaint is likely to take more than a few days.
Stage 3 – by the Managing Director
If for any reason you are dissatisfied with stage 1 and 2 handling of your complaint, you may ask that the complaint be considered by the Managing Director (MD). The MD, or an appropriate person nominated, will consider the complaint and gather any information they require in order that they can review the handling of the complaint. The customer will be kept informed of action taken, who is responsible and when a response can be expected.
You, the customer will be  informed in writing of the outcome of the complaint. Where there are unavoidable delays (i.e. staff holidays, sickness etc.) you will be informed of these and of the revised timetable.  The MD’s resolution is final.
Customer Care Standards – replying in writing
Customer queries will be acknowledged within 2 working days, written replies will be completed and posted within 5 working days. Emails will normally be acknowledged within 1 working day, with a full reply in 5 working days.
If a reply cannot be sent within that limit, an update letter/e-mail will be sent, within 5 working days, explaining the delay and indicating when a full reply will be received.
