Feedback Requests

GCFL actively solicits feedback, both compliments and complaints.

We actively ask for feedback at our meetings and training workshops.  We have comment card boxes in a public place in our office, our bookstore and from our website.  Comment cards will be available upon request via e-mail.

We ask the customers we support to complete a yearly questionnaire, seeking feedback about our services and asking for suggestions for improvement.

Our organization actively consults with our community partners about how we could best serve their needs and the needs of their clients.

We meet regularly with other local community service providers to determine how to best meet the needs of our community.

 

Complaint and Resolution Process

GCFL values it customers.  If anyone has concerns or complaints about our services, we want to know about them.  Our customer complaint procedures are visible and accessible.  We will handle all complaints in confidence.

If you have a complaint, please contact our Executive Director:

The Executive Director will record all written complaints in a confidential Customer Feedback File that will be stored in a locked desk or filing cabinet, or as a confidential electronic file.  This record will include the information on the complaint and how it was resolved.  No other staff or volunteers at GCFL will be able to view the contents of this file.

The Executive Director will acknowledge the complaint within three business days from the date of receipt.  The Executive Director or designate will follow-up and try to resolve it within 10 business days from when the complaint was received.

If the complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, you can submit a written appeal to the President of GCFL’s Board of Directors, c/o the GCFL office address.  Our Board President will respond within 10 business days.  The decision of the President or designate will be final.

Information in the Customer Feedback File will remain on file for one year, then all records will be destroyed to ensure the confidentiality of the customer.
