Information Packs and Counselling Support 

When requesting a pack or counselling support please provide as much detail as you can in the message box. It is really helpful to have your location and who the information is for, e.g. (yourself/friend/client).  For packs it is also useful to describe the situation support is needed for, the ages of any children involved, and any questions you may have. 

Feedback

Tell us what you think: suggestions, complaints, and compliments

We value your feedback – good and bad – and are committed to responding to you and working with you to resolve concerns you might have. The easiest way to sort out a problem is to complete the form below, email [email protected] or phone 04 595 5868.

Making a complaint

What can you complain about?

• A complaint can be made about any service provided by Skylight. We also accept complaints about any of our contracted providers.

Who can make a complaint?

• Anyone can make a complaint about the care or service they have received. Complaints can also be made by another person on your behalf, such as a relative, friend, parent or consumer advocate. We may need consent to respond to complaints about someone else.

What do we do about a complaint?

• All complaints are treated confidentially. Please be assured that making a complaint will not adversely affect the care you receive. Your complaint will only be discussed with the people directly involved.
• Your complaint will be acknowledged within 5 working days. In most cases the complaint will be referred to the manager of the area to be resolved directly with you.
• We aim to respond to all complaints within 21 working days. If we are unable to respond in that timeframe, we will advise you and let you know the reason and an expected completion timeframe. If your complaint is complex or requires additional investigation, we will keep you updated monthly until it is resolved.
• We take all complaints seriously. Accepting and resolving complaints gives us the opportunity to improve the services we provide. Your complaint may prevent the same issue affecting someone else in the future.
