- The Principal or designated Deputy/Vice Principal, depending on who conducts the appeal, will respond within 10 working days and arrange an appropriate time to meet with you to discuss your appeal.
- Appeal hearing letter will be sent within 10 working days of appeal hearing
- If you are still dissatisfied, you have the right to appeal to either the Education and Skills Funding Agency (SFA) for FE funded courses or Awarding Body/University.
- These bodies may not investigate the original complaint you made against the College but will look at whether the College handled your complaint appropriately.
The College cut-off is 3 months after the date of an incident to accept a complaint unless there is clear evidence that the complainant needed longer and therefore the College is willing to consider these exceptions.
