iRock School of Music Customer Complaints Policy

At iRock School of Music, we are dedicated to providing the very best service. To help us achieve this, we welcome your feedback – whether it’s sharing what we’re doing well or letting us know when something hasn’t gone right. If you do need to raise a concern, our aim is to resolve it as quickly and as fairly as possible.

You can expect to be treated with courtesy, respect and fairness at all times, and we kindly ask that the same courtesy, respect and fairness is shown to our team when handling your complaint.

Our complaints procedure is designed to:

Who this policy applies to:

  • Any partner school or third-party partner receiving a service from iRock School of Music
  • A parent, legal guardian or carer raising a concern on a child’s behalf
  • Anyone who believes they have been unfairly refused a service.
