Complaints Procedure

  • We welcome feedback on all aspects of our programme at The International Summer Camp UK
  • We will try to resolve all ‘non-formal’ complaints as we receive them.
  • A very small % of the feedback that we receive needs to be dealt with formally as a ‘complaint’.  This requires a formal process to manage. 

Complaints about any aspect of The International Summer Camp UK can come from anywhere, however, most likely would come from one of four groups of people:

  • Campers (or potential campers)
  • Parents/guardians (of camper or potential camper)
  • Public – A member of the public who has come into contact with our programme
  • Staff

What is a complaint?

Something is designated a complaint if:

  • It cannot be dealt with and resolved ‘on the ground’.
  • It is received in writing to the Camp Director 

Non-formal complaints

Enquiries we deem as ‘non-formal’ complaints, for example, those that have an element of a complaint or simply express dissatisfaction, we will treat as standard enquiries.
