Waltham Forest College strives to ensure that it fulfils its role in the community in a positive and responsible manner. When things go wrong, we would encourage students to raise any concerns or queries as soon as possible, as this typically means that they will be easier and quicker to resolve. We don’t want to discourage you from discussing any concerns with a member of staff in the appropriate department as this can resolve your concerns immediately. The College understands that raising a complaint can be stressful and that the process can sometimes seem difficult. We would strongly encourage students to contact Student Services in the first instance to discuss their concerns.

If you want to make a complaint because you are not happy about something.
