Feedback Procedure
We here at Áiseanna Tacaíochta (ÁT) are committed to ensuring that all our communications and dealings with the general public and our supporters are of the highest possible standard.
We listen and respond to the views of the general public and our supporters so that we can continue to improve.
We welcome both positive and negative feedback. Therefore, we aim to ensure that we:
- make it as easy as possible for you to make a complaint
- treat any clear expression of dissatisfaction about our work which calls for a response as a complaint
- treat your complaint seriously, whether it is made by telephone, letter, fax, email or in person
- deal with your complaint quickly, fairly and politely
- respond accordingly – for example, with an explanation or an apology, or with information on any action taken – where we have got things wrong
- learn from your complaints, use them to improve, and monitor them through our Board.
What should I do if I have a complaint?
If you do have a complaint about any aspect of our work, you can contact Dearbhla Ní Mhaolagáin, our administration assistant, in writing or by telephone. Please give as much information as possible and let us know how you would like us to respond to you, providing relevant contact details.
To submit your feedback or complaint in writing, send it to Dearbhla Ní Mhaolagáin, Áiseanna Tacaíochta, City Junction Business Park, Northern Cross, Malahide Road, Dublin 17 or email dearbhla@theatnetwork.com. To discuss it by phone, call 01 525 0707.
We are open 5 days a week from 9.00 am to 5.30 pm, and closed between 1.00 pm and 2.00 pm each day.
What happens next?
If you complain in person or over the phone, we will try to resolve the issue there and then. All complaints received, written or verbal will be acknowledged within 5 working days. The complaint will be clarified with the complainant and any investigation deemed appropriate will be commenced. Where possible, the investigation will be concluded within 30 days of its initiation. If this is not possible, we will explain why and provide a new deadline.
What if the complaint is not resolved?
If you are not happy with our response, you can get in touch with us again by writing to our Chairman. The Chairman will ensure that your appeal is considered at Board level and will respond within two weeks of this consideration by Board members.
In this case, please submit your complaint in writing, addressed to the Chairman, Áiseanna Tacaíochta, Chase House, City Junction Business Park, Northern Cross, Malahide Road, Dublin 17.
