How do I make a formal complaint?
You can speak to a house co-ordinator or any other staff you feel comfortable with. They will tell you that you can write your complaint down, and will help you to do so if you need help, If you do not feel comfortable with this, the person will support you to arrange for an advocate.
What happens next?
