    The Irish Traditional Music Archive is very thankful for the generosity of its supporters and the general public. We are committed to ensuring we live up to our reputation as a respectful, honest and open organisation, and we aim to continue to achieve the highest standards in all our practices. ITMA listens and responds to the views of the general public and our supporters so that we can continue to improve in this regard.

     

    ITMA welcomes both positive and negative feedback. Therefore, we aim to ensure that:

    • It is easy to make a complaint and give feedback.
    • We treat feedback and complaints seriously whether made by telephone, letter, email or in person.
    • We deal with each complaint or comment quickly and politely.
    • We respond appropriately to the situation, and with respect to opinions.
    • We learn from complaints and ensure we use what we have learnt to help us improve.
    • We monitor all complaints at management level and report annually to the Board.

    If you do have any feedback, or a complaint about any aspect of our work or the conduct of our staff or volunteers, you can contact us by post, telephone, email, social media or in person.

    If you contact us by email or in writing we will respond within a period of 7 days, and do everything we can to resolve it within 21 days.

    If we cannot resolve your complaint within 21 days, we will explain why and provide a new deadline.

    What if the complaint is still not resolved
