Supporter Feedback Policy
Feedback & Complaints Resolution
At Sponsr, we welcome all comments and feedback about the way we work. If you have a complaint or problem about us, we will aim to resolve it as quickly and efficiently as possible in a personal, fair and confidential way. We also hold our partnering sponsors to the same standard and take the lead in handling all complaints related to our fundraising clients.
Sponsr is the constant presence and proactive in customer service reaching out to supporters for feedback through surveys and experience improvement.
The context for our complaints procedures is effective customer care, with service standards and service level agreements where appropriate, and with regular dialogue and review with customers and supporters of the service provided.
Our Goal is to Listen
The purpose of our complaints handling procedures is to ensure that we:
- listen and are responsive to people who raise an issue
- respond quickly with personal reach out
- are fair and consistent
- offer solutions and/or explanations
- offer complainants recourse to someone more senior/more independent if they wish
- ensure that staff who are mentioned in complaints receive support
- respect confidentiality
- record complaints consistently, and monitor what we record
- use complaints positively as an opportunity for learning and improvement
In making a complaint we believe most people want:
- to be listened to
- to have the problem accepted as important
- to be offered a solution or explanation
- to have their distress acknowledged and to be assured the same issue or problem will not happen again
