We’re carrying out essential maintenance to our website on Thursday 19 September, between 11 am and 12 pm. Some of our location and map-based services may be unavailable during this time.
Listening to you - our complaints procedure
Your views and experiences are important to us. They help us to understand what we do well and where we need to improve. This allows us to tailor our services to better meet your needs.
We work hard to deliver high-quality services in a way that suits the needs of everyone but it is inevitable that we won't get it right for every person all of the time.
If you feel that we have got something wrong, please tell us about it. We have well-trained employees on hand who will do everything possible to resolve the issue quickly.
Like all councils in Scotland, we have a Complaints Handling Procedure which describes our process for handling complaints and how to make a complaint. It also tells you about our service standards and what you can expect from us.
When a child under the age of 18 makes a complaint, or an adullt does so on their behalf, we will handle the complaint in a manner that respects and promotes children’s rights. These ‘Child Friendly Complaints’ are in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child.
Before you start
Do not use this form to:
- request a service or report an issue, for example a missed bin or a housing repair
- complain about a councillor to the Ethical Standards Commissioner
- complain about social work services
Using the online form above ensures that your complaint is immediately logged in our complaints handling system and passed directly to the service to action and respond.
Other ways of getting in touch
If you need to contact a service directly, please visit the relevant page on our website - find the service you need from the homepage.
Our contact us page lists some key contact methods for waste management, housing and council tax.
We have a number of map-based service directories, which provide contact information for local offices including housing, social work and First Stop Shops.
