Compla<strong>in</strong>ts Mechanism<br />
The department aims to treat all its students with full courtesy and respect and is committed to<br />
provid<strong>in</strong>g its students with a high quality learn<strong>in</strong>g experience. Any student who feels, after<br />
consultation with his or her module tutor, that he or she has not been properly treated <strong>in</strong> accordance<br />
with this code of practice should <strong>in</strong>itially br<strong>in</strong>g the matter to the attention of the Postgraduate Director<br />
, <strong>in</strong> the expectation that the majority of matters can be resolved by this means.<br />
If, however, it is not felt that adequate resolution has been achieved, the student should then approach<br />
the Head of Department via the Departmental Officer <strong>in</strong> the first <strong>in</strong>stance. The University has<br />
recently implemented a new compla<strong>in</strong>ts procedure, which requires the completion of a form <strong>in</strong> order<br />
for a formal compla<strong>in</strong>t to be properly classed as such. <strong>Student</strong>s wish<strong>in</strong>g to make a formal compla<strong>in</strong>t<br />
should first <strong>in</strong>voke the departmental procedures outl<strong>in</strong>ed above. For further <strong>in</strong>formation on the<br />
University’s formal compla<strong>in</strong>ts procedure please see<br />
https://gap.lancs.ac.uk/compla<strong>in</strong>ts/pages/default.aspx . Any such formal compla<strong>in</strong>ts should be<br />
addressed to the Departmental Officer for the attention of the Head of Department.<br />
