Complaints and objections

Complaints and objections

The neighborhood team members do their best every day to help you as best as possible. However, sometimes collaboration with the team member isn't going well, or you feel something is not going well. We'd be happy to talk with you to see if we can find a solution together. If that doesn't work, you can always file a complaint or objection.

There are several ways to do this. Below you can read about the different options.

Difference between a complaint and an objection

Create a complaint This concerns how you were treated. It could be about how you were treated and whether you were treated respectfully. Your complaint could also concern the accessibility of the neighborhood team or the way you were supported.

Create a objection is always directed against a decision. You may or may not have received a particular decision and disagree with it. You can object to this. You must submit your objection to the municipality of UtrechtAn objection must always be received by the Municipality of Utrecht within six weeks. The Municipality of Utrecht handles objections to decisions that may have been taken by us: the objection is either upheld (you win) or rejected (you lose).
