Policies

Complaints and feedback

When something goes wrong, we want to know, so we can put it right and do better next time.

Anyone can complain or give feedback: participants, parents and guardians, partners, suppliers and members of the public. You can complain about a programme or an event, about someone who works with SIA, about how we used your information, or about this website.

You can stay anonymous, and you can write in Urdu or English. Complaining will never affect your place in a programme or any decision about you.

A concern about the safety of a child or an adult at risk is handled straight away. If someone is in immediate danger, call the police on 15. Our safeguarding policy

Send a complaint or feedback

You can stay anonymous. Complaints and safeguarding concerns are handled under SIA HQ’s safeguarding policy.
