Unit 3d letter template
The document is a response letter from a company to a customer, Mrs. E. Jones, regarding a situation that occurred during her visit on September 25, 2009. The company apologizes for the trouble caused by staff and will take steps to address the issue by evaluating the problem further and dealing with the staff member involved, in order to prevent future occurrences and regain the customer's confidence.
Unit 3cii evalution
The displays at Cadbury World are bright and colorful to attract customers from a distance. However, some displays near the reception lacked information about upcoming Easter events. The staff generally maintain good hygiene standards, like wearing gloves and hats when serving food, though one staff member was observed scratching her face and not sanitizing hands afterwards. No staff members could speak foreign languages, which could limit communication with international visitors.
Unit 3c student - info and advice
The document provides a summary of service standards across various areas at Cadbury World. It evaluates criteria such as displays, leaflets, staff, menus, website, communication, health and safety, against benchmarks. Most criteria were met, though some issues were noted such as menus not catering for all diets, some doors and windows needing repair, and occasional lapses in hygiene practices. The evaluation provides an overview of Cadbury World's operations and customer service standards with recommendations for areas of improvement.
Unit 3c student - communication
This document outlines service standards for communication, specialist needs, appearance, information and advice, and health, safety and hygiene. Each standard includes a focus area, benchmark criteria to measure against, space to note whether the criteria was met or not, and an optional comments section. The document provides a framework to evaluate performance across key service areas.
Unit 3biii
It is important for Cadbury World to have a clear complaints policy to address customer issues promptly to prevent negative publicity and maintain a positive reputation. The policy outlines different procedures for straightforward or serious complaints received in person, by phone, letter, or online. For minor issues, staff aim to resolve them immediately, while more serious complaints are documented and may be escalated if needed. Promptly addressing complaints helps deescalate unhappy customers and encourages them to return satisfied in the future. However, the policy could be improved by shortening response times and providing a dedicated complaints phone number for those without internet access.
Unit 3b external comm
Cadbury World uses various external and internal communication methods with customers and staff. For external communication, they use their logo, slogans, letters, telephone calls, emails, face-to-face interaction, and a tannoy system. Letters allow for a personal touch but can get lost or damaged, while email is fast but impersonal. Internally, they communicate via email, tannoy, radio, meetings, and notice boards to coordinate staff and address any issues. The tannoy and radio systems are quick but have limitations around personal messages or power outages. Face-to-face interaction is most personal but an employee's mood could impact customers.
Unit 3a
The document provides examples of customer service situations and how they were handled by various staff members. In each example, the staff member dealt with the situation in a calm, polite, and helpful manner. They maintained appropriate appearance and followed best practices such as making eye contact, having a positive attitude, and speaking respectfully to customers. The examples illustrate how customer service issues should be addressed professionally while prioritizing customer satisfaction.
Unit 3aii student table

The poem "The Chimney Sweeper" from Songs of Innocence describes the sad life of a young chimney sweep who was sold into servitude at a young age. It tells the story of his fellow sweep Tom Dacre's dream of angels rescuing all the chimney sweeps and taking them to heaven. Though it depicts the oppression of the children, it retains an innocent and hopeful perspective through imagery of happiness and religious symbolism. When compared to the same poem in Songs of Experience, it contrasts through using simpler language and retaining the children's innocence, while the later version depicts how their happiness and innocence are stripped away through experience.
