Slide 11
Responsiveness and objectivity
Complaints should be acknowledged ASAP. Urgent complaints, for example dealing with health and safety issues should be processed immediately. If adequate, communicate with complainant about the resolution progress. Complaints should be addressed in an equitable, objective and unbiased manner. For example dont let a bias exist due to the complainants race, ethnical or religious belief interfere with how the complaint should be handled.
