CJS Service Standards

 

CJS is an ethical small business involving a small number of personnel dedicated to conservation. We aim for the highest possible standards, guaranteed by our ‘no quibble refund’ policy.

The purpose of our Service Standards is to let people know what they can expect from CJS. They also let our staff know what is expected of them. We regularly monitor our performance against these standards and we publish a bi-annual report on our performance from our CJS Subscriber Satisfaction Surveys.

The standard we aim for

General conduct: Staff provide efficient and helpful service on the telephone and in person. They give their name in correspondence and conduct themselves professionally.

General enquiries and requests for information: We will reply within 10 working days or acknowledge within 5 working days if the subject is complex. The acknowledgement will say who is dealing with your request and when you can expect a full reply. We will reply within 20 working days of receipt or within the deadlines and timescales set by the consultation procedure. In complex cases which may exceed this response standard, we will send you an acknowledgement saying who is dealing with the case and when you can expect a full reply.

Telephone: Calls will be answered as soon as possible, usually within 15 seconds. Answer-phone and fax messages will receive prompt attention and where possible calls will be returned within one working day. The use of answerphones during working hours will be kept to a minimum but we are a small team so please bear with us.

Office hours: Our office is open from 9am – 5 pm weekdays. An answer-phone is available outside normal hours and all of our information is also available on this website. Our office ignores most Bank Holidays except Christmas and New Year, when we close for 2-3 weeks.

Publications: Requests for sample copies of publications will normally be dispatched within five working days of receipt of the request, and priced publications within ten working days of receipt of payment. If a publication is temporarily unavailable for any reason we will let you know when you will receive it. Also available on the website. Duplicate voucher copies are available for six weeks after publication, after this time a fee of £5 per copy is payable.

Invoices: Invoices will normally be paid within credit terms agreed with suppliers, subject to satisfactory delivery of goods and services.

Complaints and suggestions

Despite our commitment to giving high-quality services, sometimes things will go wrong. When this happens we want to know about it, and to put things right where we can. If you do have a problem, then please contact us. We hope to sort out most problems on the spot. To find out more about our complaints procedure, please contact us. Our complaints procedure can also be found on our web site (below). If you have a suggestion or a complaint tell us about it and help us to help you.

Information and openness

We are committed to being as open as possible in all that we do. Our policy is aimed at helping the public and our partners to understand and be involved in our work. It also reflects our obligations under the Data Protection Act. We will provide information on request about most aspects of our work, including the data and information we hold about you. We will strive to answer requests that are reasonable and specific. However there are certain types of information that may remain confidential. For example we cannot release information that affects other legal rights or processes, particularly where personal privacy may be breached. Information about us, including our policies and work, is available from our web site. We will not normally charge for replying to information requests, unless in answering the request we would incur costs for materials or for presenting information in a specifically requested format.

Our web site contains information on a range of CJS activities, products and initiatives including news releases, publications, training events (by other providers, not CJS!), advertising, subscribing and online shop.
