• acknowledge membership of the scheme in our Annual Report.
• complete and file an annual return with the FRSB about the number and nature of complaints received and the extent to which we were able to amicably resolve them.
• provide copies of our fundraising materials to the FRSB if requested to do so.
• promptly provide details about complaints we have received and how we have dealt with them when requested to do so by the FRSB.
• co-operate fully with the FRSB in the event that a complaint is referred to them and comply with any sanction imposed upon us by them.
