Dispute Resolution Process

Any disputes relating to supplies of goods and services, should be first directed to the School Business Manager at the Academy whom ordered the goods or services. If no resolution can be found with the School Business manager, and no explanation received why the payment has been withheld, Suppliers can raise their concerns with the Head Teacher of that Academy. Where no resolution has been found by dealing with the academy direct, the supplier may refer the matter to the central trust, by e-mailing help@reach2.org. Suppliers must include the following information; Academy Supplied, Statement of Account, copy of outstanding invoice(s), purchase order number given by the academy when ordering the goods or service, and who the supplier has been dealing with so far in trying to resolve the dispute. The Central trust will then liaise with the school in question to resolve the matter. It is worth noting that the Academy itself has the final authority to issue payment and the trust can only act as arbitrator in the matter. Suppliers can find up to date Academy address’s and contact details on our website (http://www.reach2.org)
