How we are doing

Our membership team retains accreditation of the Customer Service Excellence Standard (CSE), a recognised independent benchmark of excellent customer service. 

Service performance

We want our members to receive a better level of service than they would receive elsewhere. To achieve this, our membership team sets stringent performance targets and regularly surveys members to see how our service is being received. The feedback we obtain guides improvements to our service.

Member feedback

Members are asked to rate from 0 to 10, where 0 is not at all satisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Our target for our overall score is 8 or above.

Member comments

Here's a selection of some of the comments we received via our survey:

"Very helpful and prompt on answering the phone."

"Very professional response and quickly dealt with - thank you."

"The staff was incredibly helpful, and I truly appreciate the support I received. Thank you for making the experience so smooth and pleasant!"

"Professional, friendly, thorough, helpful defence organisation. Can highly recommend after 11 years of being a member of the DDU."

"Very professional and kindly dealt with my issue."

Complaints

Over the past 12 months, only 0.06% of all telephone, letter and email enquiries received by the Membership team resulted in a complaint.

Quality of service

When measuring quality, we take into account many factors such as:

• the politeness and professionalism of our staff
• the clarity and accuracy of the information we provide
• the tone of our correspondence
• the overall time it takes to handle your enquiry
• being mindful of security when handling your personal data.
