Local Authority Training

LGO Logo
 

Dealing well with complaints is a vital part of good customer care. It improves customer relations, helps organisations learn and improve, and maximises public value.

Over more than three decades of complaint investigation we have developed an unparalleled overview of the way local authorities deal with complaints, and a unique perspective on what constitutes good practice in complaint handling.

In response to an increasing demand from authorities for us to share our knowledge and experience with them, and as part of our role in promoting good administration, we are now offering a range of training courses on dealing with complaints – all devised by us with the particular needs of local government in mind. Feedback from participants shows that they find it stimulating and challenging, as well as being very beneficial for their work in dealing with complaints.

Details of the courses

All our courses are presented by experienced LGO investigative staff, so participants can be confident that their presenter has genuine practical expertise in complaint handling and can draw on a fund of real knowledge about the theory and practice covered.

The charges we make for our ‘off the peg’ courses just cover our costs in delivering training (see below for more details). We believe they represent very good value for money.

Good complaint handling - identifying and processing complaints

Effective complaint handling - investigating and resolving complaints

Good complaint handling in social services

Effective complaint handling in social services

Prices

Our Effective complaint handling courses and the course in Good complaint handling are available at a cost of:

One-day course for a group of up to 15, with one presenter: £975
One-day course for a group of up to 30, with two presenters: £1,650

(No extra charge made for trainer’s travel and expenses. Prices assume you will supply the venue for the course. Full details of venue requirements and of our terms and conditions for supplying training provided on request.)

Smaller authorities with fewer than 15 staff to put forward for training may wish to get together with neighbouring authorities to hold a local LGO training event, sharing the costs.

If you are interested in running a customised course for your authority, please ring to discuss the details.
