Comments or Complaints about UKHCA MembersHome care providers in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have a legal requirement to operate a complaints procedure to enable you to resolve complaints with them directly. This is often the most appropriate way to sort out complaints quickly and to prevent smaller problems from becoming larger ones. In addition providers must also register with the statutory regulator in the country where their offices are located. The statutory regulators are:
The Statutory regulator has the ability to take enforcement action against a provider who does not comply with the law or the requirement to provide an acceptable standard of care. In addition to their legal responsibilities, home care providers who join UKHCA, also agree to abide by our Code of Practice. You may ask us to help you resolve a complaint about one of our members, provided you have already exhausted your provider’s own complaints procedure. UKHCA use an independent advisor to help resolve complaints about our members. In the first instance you should contact our helpline for more information.
