Comments and Feedback Policy

This policy outlines how York Museums Trust will handle feedback and comments relating to its customer service activities from members of the public. The Trust values all feedback and comments as it gives us the opportunity to help improve our services, facilities and processes. If something goes well or goes wrong, please tell us.  It is our intention that every complainant is content with the outcome.

 

Providing Feedback at Our Sites

Any member of the public who wishes to make give feedback should, in the first instance, contact a member of Museum, Art Gallery or Gardens staff, who will, wherever possible, deal with the matter immediately – either directly or through their line manager.

Many matters can be resolved informally by discussing the issue with a member of staff.

If the matter cannot be resolved informally by discussing with a member of staff, the member of staff will make a formal record of the complaint and forward it to the Museum/Art Gallery/Gardens manager who will investigate further.

All feedback regarding customer service activity will be reported to the Museum/Art Gallery/Gardens manager and monitored.

All positive comments will be recorded and praise forwarded to the relevant member of staff, via the Museum/Art Gallery/Gardens manager.
