Once your complaint has been fully dealt with by Calderdale Home Care Limited and you are not satisfied with the outcome you can refer your complaint to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGO) and ask for it to be reviewed.
The LGO provides a free, independent service.
The LGO can be contacted for information and advice, or to register your complaint:

The LGO will not usually investigate a complaint until the provider has had an opportunity to respond and resolve matters.
Our service is registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The CQC cannot get involved in individual complaints about providers but is happy to receive information about our services at any time. You can contact the CQC at:
