Make a verbal or written complaint to:

Complaints Form

A confidential record of your complaint and the action taken by Street Law Centre will be kept. Each quarter, the Principal Solicitor will report complaint statistics to the Management Committee for review. This will help to inform future decisions about Street Law Centre’s services.

Step Two

After receiving your complaint, Street Law Centre will contact you to tell what is being done to investigate and resolve your complaint and how long we expect this to take.

We aim to resolve all complaints within 4 weeks. If this is not possible we will write to you to explain why.

After investigating your complaint, Street Law Centre will write you a letter explaining the decision, the reasons for the decision, and the action taken.

Step Three

If you are not happy with Street Law Centre’s resolution, you can make a written request for a review by the Management Committee.
