Advocacy services for children
The Council aims to provide the best possible services to our children and young people. Feedback is important to us, as it helps us understand if we are getting things right, and where we aren’t, it helps us to put things right as quickly as possible, by learning from children’s experiences. See Children's feedback and complaints process for more information.
We aim to resolve complaints quickly and informally where possible.

- contact the school directly, you should be able to download a copy of the procedure from the school's website.
