Sharing Feedback

There are several mechanisms by which you can share feedback with the facility:

  • Post-campaign user feedback, relating to a specific project (for users involved in a campaign).

    • 1-2 weeks after flying ends: Online feedback form sent to all campaign participants

    • 2-4 weeks after flying ends: Feedback meeting held

  • Feedback gathered via the optionally anonymous feedback form available on the Contact Us page of the FAAM website

  • Formal complaints. Despite our best efforts, we understand that there may be occasions when we fall short of delivering the expected service. In order to track and report on any formal complaints, please contact alan.woolley@faam.ac.uk

  • Feedback gathered via working groups and other engagement events

  • Feedback directly provided to FAAM staff

  • FAAM Flyer feedback - feedback following an individual flight not necessarily linked to a particularly campaign (for those users who may only take part in one or two flights)

  • Feedback about data, via the CEDA helpdesk at support@ceda.ac.uk.

This broad range of feedback mechanisms is designed to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to give feedback, anonymously if preferred. If contact details are requested, they will be stored in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Response to Feedback

Urgent or serious feedback and complaints will be dealt with according to our Formal Complaints Policy. Once a year, an update (written by the Communications Team) for users will be published on the FAAM website and in newsletter form, to tell them how we have acted on their feedback, and why decisions have been made. Six months following a campaign, we will communicate the actions taken in response to feedback gathered following that campaign via the campaign’s email distribution list. Where individuals have provided contact information with their feedback, if appropriate they will be informed of the response. Where changes to processes affecting users are made, these are documented in a changelog that users can view to see what might be different to when they last used the facility.
