LANGLEARHOW TO COMPLAIN

02

Tell us what has happened

Many concerns can be resolved quickly through ordinary support. Langlear does not continuously monitor every lesson-group message, so posting in a Langlear WhatsApp Group does not automatically notify Langlear that investigation or administrative action is required. If you want Langlear to act, contact Langlear privately. If you want a matter treated as a formal complaint, state this clearly and use the dedicated complaints address.

Formal complaints

Email: complaints@langlear.com
WhatsApp: +212 716 183 960

Begin the message with “FORMAL COMPLAINT”. Avoid posting sensitive complaint details in a group where they are not needed.

Information to include

1

Your name and preferred contact details

2

The Student or Tutor involved, where relevant

3

What happened and when

4

Relevant messages, invoices or other evidence

5

Steps already taken to resolve it

6

The outcome you would like Langlear to consider

When to complain

Please raise the concern as soon as reasonably possible. Prompt reporting makes it easier to preserve messages, understand events and find a practical solution. Langlear may still consider an older complaint where there is a good reason for delay, continuing impact, safeguarding relevance or another important concern.

Accessibility and support

Tell Langlear if you need reasonable help to make or understand a complaint. A Parent/Guardian may support a child. Another person may assist where the complainant authorises them and Langlear can appropriately verify that authority.

Respectful communication

Strong disagreement is permitted; abuse is not. Langlear may set reasonable communication boundaries where messages become threatening, discriminatory, persistently repetitive or unrelated to resolving the complaint. This will not prevent consideration of the underlying issue.

LANGLEARTHE REVIEW PROCESS

What Langlear will do

01

Acknowledge

Langlear aims to acknowledge a formal complaint within 2 working days and confirm who is handling it.

02

Clarify

We may ask focused questions to understand the issues, desired outcome and any urgent practical needs.

03

Protect

Where needed, Langlear may pause lessons, preserve records, change communication arrangements or take another neutral temporary measure.

04

Review

We consider relevant messages, lesson and attendance information, payment records and accounts from those involved.

05

Respond

Langlear aims to provide a written outcome within 10 working days after receiving enough information to review the complaint.

06

Follow up

We implement agreed actions, record the outcome and consider whether wider service improvements are required.

If more time is needed

A complex complaint, unavailable evidence, multiple countries, safeguarding issue or external referral may take longer. Langlear will explain the reason, identify any information still needed and provide a revised update date.

Fair handling

ImpartialityConsider relevant evidence and competing accounts.
ConfidentialityShare information only where needed for fair resolution, safety or law.
ProportionalityMatch the response to seriousness, impact and available evidence.
No retaliationDo not disadvantage someone for raising a genuine concern.

Conflicts of interest

Where practicable, a person materially involved in the events should not make the final decision. As Langlear may operate with a small team, a fully independent internal reviewer may not always be available. Any conflict and the steps taken to manage it will be explained where appropriate.

LANGLEAROUTCOMES & REVIEW

04

Possible resolutions

The appropriate outcome depends on what is established, the seriousness and impact of the issue, relevant terms and any mandatory rights. Outcomes may include:

Explanation

Clarifying what happened, the applicable arrangement or why a decision was made.

Apology

Acknowledging poor communication, inconvenience, distress or another service failure.

Practical correction

Correcting records, communication arrangements, scheduling or another operational issue.

Lesson remedy

Make-up teaching time, rescheduling, a replacement Tutor or another appropriate teaching solution.

Financial remedy

An appropriate refund or credit where supported by the Student Terms, specific arrangement or applicable rights.

Protective or contractual action

Guidance, warning, training, monitoring, pausing opportunities or ending a service relationship.

Policy improvement

Updating guidance, forms, training or procedures to reduce recurrence.

No further action

Where the available evidence does not support a remedy or Langlear has already acted appropriately.

The written outcome

Langlear will normally summarise the issues considered, evidence reviewed, findings that can appropriately be shared, the outcome, actions and any review route. Privacy or safeguarding duties may limit what can be disclosed about another person.

Requesting a review

A complainant may request a review within 10 working days of the outcome where they identify a material factual error, relevant evidence not reasonably considered, a significant procedural problem or a clearly disproportionate outcome.

The review is not a complete restart merely because the complainant disagrees. Where practicable, someone not materially involved will review the identified grounds. If no independent internal reviewer is available, Langlear will explain this and reconsider the grounds as fairly as possible.

LANGLEARSPECIAL CONCERNS & GOVERNANCE

05

Using the correct reporting route

Safeguarding or immediate risk

safeguarding@langlear.com
Use “URGENT SAFEGUARDING CONCERN”. Contact local emergency services first if someone is in immediate danger.

Privacy or data concern

Identify the information involved, what you believe went wrong and any urgent risk. Langlear will handle privacy rights and incidents under its Privacy Notice and applicable requirements.

Payment fraud or changed details

Do not send payment. Contact Langlear through a known channel immediately and preserve the suspicious message or instruction.

Alleged criminal conduct

Langlear may preserve information and contact an appropriate authority. This policy does not prevent a person from reporting directly to police or another competent body.

Records and privacy

Langlear keeps a proportionate record of the complaint, evidence, communications, decisions and actions. Records are access-restricted and retained according to their purpose, seriousness, legal requirements and the Langlear Privacy Notice. Complaint information may be shared where necessary for a fair response, safeguarding, professional advice, insurance, legal claims or regulatory cooperation.

Learning from complaints

Langlear will consider recurring issues, response times, outcomes and whether changes are needed to Tutor guidance, Student communication, payment administration, safeguarding, matching or service design. Learning should be recorded without exposing unnecessary personal information.

Policy review

This policy will be reviewed at least annually and sooner after a serious complaint, material process change or relevant legal development.
