Our complaints procedure:
Child Helpline International in Amsterdam is committed to the network and working in partnership with stakeholders, affiliates and partners. As a network organisation, we recognise however, that we sometimes get things wrong or make mistakes. Or it may be that something did not go as you expected and you want to let us know. To deal with this we have developed a complaints procedure.
We do not look on complaints as unwanted. In fact, they may help us to see where our services or procedures might be improved. So do let us know where you feel we have made a mistake or done something which you found unsatisfactory or unacceptable. Even if you do not think your particular concern amounts to a ‘complaint’ we would still like to know about it. We will always treat your complaints with confidentiality.
Step 1: Contacting us. The first step is to talk to a member of Child Helpline International’s staff or your regional representative. This can be done informally, either directly or by telephone or by email. Usually, the best staff member to talk to is the person who dealt with the concerned matter. They will be in the best position to help you quickly and to address your concerns. If the individual is unavailable, or you would prefer to approach someone else, then ask for their relevant line manager. You can find a list of all of staff members at this link. You may prefer to contact your regional representative. If this is the case, they will follow-up directly with the Executive Director. We will try to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. If more information is needed, we will record your concern and arrange the best way of getting back to you. This will normally be within five working days. If it should be longer than five working days, we will notify you in advance and make other arrangements.
Step 2: Taking your complaint further. Making a formal complaint. If you are still unhappy, the next step is to send your written complaint to the Executive Director of Child Helpline International;
Step 3: The next stage. If you are not satisfied with the Executive Director’s investigation you can take your complaint to the Child Helpline International’s Supervisory Board. Child Helpline International is a registered non-profit organization in the Netherlands and is governed by a Supervisory Board, which includes a Chair, a Treasurer, a Secretary and five Regional Representatives. All materials relating to your complaint and to the Executive Director’s investigation will be sent to the Chair of the Board (contact details will be provided for you). He or she will let you know within 10 working days that they have received your complaint and tell you when to expect a full response from them. If you have any queries about our complaints procedure, please feel free to contact us at any time!
