the first stage will be for you to try to resolve the problem informally with the person involved

If you would prefer not to speak to someone who was involved in the situation, then go straight to step two.

the executive committee in the first instance at the above address, detailing your complaint by letter marked private and
confidential Alternatively, you can contact the relevant manager or the a member of the executive committee by telephone, to

this up with a full written report, sending copies to you. The report will include any necessary explanations or steps that will be
taken to ensure the problem does not recur.
