Informal stage
Deshpande Coaching Classes aims to be able to deal with the majority of concerns or complaints informally through negotiation.
If you feel that your complaint has not been resolved through the informal stage, or warrants a formal investigation, you will need to make a formal complaint.
Making a Formal Complaint
A formal complaint must be made in writing and be clearly identified as a formal complaint.
All formal complaints should be emailed to info@deshpandecoaching.academy
Once a complaint is received, an acknowledgement will be sent within 7 days. We will carry out an investigation, or, where appropriate, appoint someone else to do so. The outcome of the investigation will be sent to you in writing within 21 days.
If the outcome of a formal investigation is not satisfactory, you can escalate your complaint to the International Association for Professional Coaching Mentoring.
Confidentiality
All complaints received will be treated in confidence and only shared with the International Association for Professional Coaching & Mentoring in the event of the complaint being escalated to them.
