Complaints and Feedback

At Lizard, we value your feedback. You can submit a complaint, give a compliment, or suggest an opportunity for improvement.

Feedback may include:

  • Compliments: These are things that you think we’re doing well or may be recognition of a person who has helped you. By telling us what you like, we can aim to continue to do these things and provide feedback to staff.
  • Opportunity for improvement: Your ideas on how we can improve things or do things better can help us to improve our services and ensure they meet your needs and wants.
  • Complaints: We want to know when you’re not happy about an experience you’ve had with Lizard.  A complaint can be about a person, a service or something you have experienced. We will respond to any complaints received within three working days.

You can read more about our Complaints, Feedback and Suggestions policy and procedure here.
