How we can help you make a complaint

How we do it

This Scheme uses Arbitration. Arbitration is a legal process, carried out in line with the Arbitration Act 1996, by which an independent and impartial person (the arbitrator) decides the outcome of a dispute. The arbitrator has wide powers to decide on a case.

Please read our Arbitration Guide, located in the 'Downloads' section above.
