Here at Dianthas we aim to be the best we can. However, we know at times things do go wrong and when they do, we need to know. This will help us resolve our error and ensure everyone’s experience with ourselves is positive. We actively encourage feedback because we love to hear from our customers, good and bad. We are always learning and striving to find ways to improve what we do. Further details can be found in our full policy, attached below.

What is the difference between comments, compliments, complaints and appeals?

A comment is making a quick suggestion or giving us feedback about our services. These are important, often spur of the moment opportunities to tell us how we are doing, where no formal investigation is called for.

Comments help us:

1. learn from quick and brief feedback.
2. Take feedback anonymously
3. Receive feedback

A compliment is telling us about aspects of great services received. This could be from  a vocational  coach, IQA, administration, resources, compliments help us to:

1. Praise and recognise a member of the team who go above and beyond their normal duties to make a difference to customers;
2. Identify processes that work well to make a difference to you
3. Know that we are doing somethings right
4. Offer the best service to you for the money spent on it.

A complaint is telling us about something that has gone wrong. It could fit with one or more of these descriptors:
