GIGC Training wishes to continually enhance its unique service and always aim to deliver a first-class service meeting the needs of our customers.
Customer Care Policy
To support the delivery of the provision at GIGC our customer care policy is built around four key principles: Customer Care will be provided in a professional manner across the team by well trained and knowledgeable staff; Every employee will give priority to the consideration of the needs of the individual customer, their right to information, to equality of access, to privacy and dignity; All of GIGC’s services will consistently seek to attain a defined and published standard of quality and our customers will be informed of their course of redress when these standards are not met; The term “customer” will include colleagues in our own organization and partner agencies, and we recognize that caring for our customers begins with caring for others who form part of a service chain within the organization and its partners. Every person employed by GIGC Training can influence the quality of service, which a customer receives and consequently their perception of the organization. It is, therefore, vital to emphasize that the practices, which are set out in this policy, are relevant to everyone. They do not just apply to employees who have face-to-face contact with the public or to senior staff or to other teams providing direct services. Everyone can and must play their part with enthusiasm and commitment.
The Organization Will Play Its Part By:
giving customer care a high corporate priority; developing corporate values and practices on customer care which are shared across the organization and communicated effectively; setting out the good practice necessary to achieve those values in a way that supports a devolved management culture whilst, at the same time, recognizing that we are perceived as one organization by our customers; encouraging all employees to optimize their use of existing resources in delivering services and customer care; providing additional resources, where necessary, to supplement the resources provided by individual services in the development and delivery of customer care; providing customer care training for all of its employees; updating information to all its employees to add to their knowledge and awareness of customers and their care; regularly monitoring its customer care strategy to ensure that the needs of all its customers – residents, visitors and in-house – are met successfully. Providing a clear, accessible process for any customer to comment or complain about any aspect of the services

Customer Contact Procedure
We want to make sure that our customers feel that they can complain whenever they are dissatisfied with our services – and that we will do all we can to deal with their complaint satisfactorily, openly and fairly. If the complaint is to another agency, then you should try and guide the customer to the correct contact If you are unsure whether an issue raised with you is a complaint, check the Complaints Procedure or ask your Manager. Matters raised anonymously will be considered and appropriate action taken, although, these complaints are more difficult to deal with fairly. Therefore, any action taken will be outside this procedure
