ADHD Ireland aims to provide high quality services which meet the needs of its members
and service users.
All staff, volunteers and Board members appreciate that most people want:
- To be heard
- To be understood and taken seriously
- To be respected
- To be given an explanation
- To be given an apology, where appropriate, and
- To get action or resolution a soon as possible.
ADHD Ireland recognises the right of members, visitors and service users to complain
when feeling dissatisfied with the service provided by ADHD Ireland. We undertake,
wherever possible, to resolve complaints and to prevent similar complaints from occurring.
Our Complaints Policy outlines procedures for dealing with complaints.
The policy objective is to provide procedures to control the processing of complaints as a
way of improving services to our members and service users, and enhance the public image,
ensuring that requests are acknowledged courteously and investigated efficiently and
effectively.
In order to maintain high standards and continue to improve, we have a procedure through
which you can let us know if for any reason you are not satisfied with our dealings with
ADHD Ireland. We welcome your feedback.
If you are not happy with ADHD Ireland please tell us.
If you are unhappy about any experience you have had with any ADHD Ireland service,
please call the office at 01 8748349 and ask to speak to the CEO.
Often we will be able to give you a response straight away. If the matter is more
complicated, we will give you at lease an initial response within five working days.
