Grievances Policy

Club Statement

Whilst we strive to run the Club as effectively, efficiently and equitably as possible we accept that on occasion, differences of opinion may arise and we are keen that these instances are discussed sooner than later as experience shows that problems allowed to fester only become worse in the long run. We would therefore encourage anyone who feels aggrieved by a situation to raise it with the respective team manager in the first instance. If the problem cannot be resolved the Club can be approached as the following complaints procedure.
