Complaints procedure for 7JAC

I want to make a complaint about a staff member or counsellor at the 7July Assistance Centre
To make a complaint about a 7 July Assistance Centre staff member or counsellor, the first step you will need to take is to write to the Centre Manager at the 7 July Assistance Centre.

You may be offered mediation to help resolve your complaint. The aim of mediation will be to find solutions to the issues you have raised and provide you with an explanation of events. If, after mediation, you are still not happy with the outcome, you must write to the Project Director for the 7 July Assistance Centre.

(The Centre’s address has deliberately not been placed on the website for security reasons. If you would like to write to us, please call or send an email to ).
