Timebase - Statutory Complaints Management for Children & Adult Services

All authorities have an obligation to deal with complaints regarding adult and child care, which must follow statutory guidelines. Tricostars statutory complaints management system manages the process for you ensuring you and your team meet all the neccessary deadlines, procedures & reporting requirements.

With the recent introduction of National Indicator 14 (NI 14) it has been recognised that unneccessary contact with your customers should be avoided by the use of more efficient service delivery tools.

It's with this in mind that Tricostar have produced an application that manages the whole statutory complaints process from start to finish ensuring that it meets all the statutory guidelines.

The following Workflows are included and can be modified to the exact way you work:

Adult & Community Services Statutory Complaints Procedure (ACS)
Children and Young People Statutory Complaints Procedure (CYP)
The Mental Capacity Act Deprivation of Liberty safeguards (MCA DOL)
