Complaints Procedure

The SPFL Trust are committed to dealing with any complaints swiftly and professionally. To do this, a four stage process has been implemented:

  • Stage 1—Receipt and Acknowledgement: We will normally aim to acknowledge complaints within two working days
  • Stage 2—Investigation and Escalation: The complaint will be investigated.  If the complaint is not summarily resolved, it will be escalated to the Chief Executive within five working days
  • Stage 3—Determination: The Chief Executive will investigate and respond to the complainer advising of the outcome of the complaint and the SPFL Trust’s decision
  • Stage 4—Alternative Dispute Resolution: If the resolution of the complaint is not satisfactory at Stage 3 the complainer can require that the SPFL Trusts enters into mediation with Lindsays (www.lindsays.co.uk).  This is subject to the complainer’s willingness to mediate but is provided at no cost for the complainer.  The mediator will report on the outcome of the dispute to the Gambling Commission and the SPFL Trust will abide by any direction of the mediator
