Make a complaint about adult social care

If you have any comments about adult social care or suggestions about how the council can make things better, we want to hear from you.

We hope problems can be sorted out quickly and easily by speaking with the person you normally see from adult social care, but if you'd like to speak to someone different, you can complain to the Customer Relations Team.
