Tribunals Service Customer Satisfaction Survey
To allow us to gauge and monitor levels of customer satisfaction with the administration of Tribunal cases, FDS International Ltd have been contracted to conduct a Customer Satisfaction Survey on behalf of the Tribunal Service. The results of the survey will be important in informing and shaping the development of our policies and indeed the organisation.
The survey will focus on the administration of cases, not the outcome of their case nor the decision of the judiciary. The survey will be carried out at intervals throughout 2007, 2008 & 2009. The results will, in the first instance, allow us to develop a Key Performance Indicator for customer satisfaction and thereafter monitor performance against that indicator.
If Customers raise questions about providing information to FDS they should be reassured that under the Data Protection Act 1998, the Tribunals Service has put in place an agreement with FDS allowing them to process this data on our behalf.
