Community Connections Grievance Policy

A grievance form is attached in case you feel that any of the following have been violated by staff in the program.

Concerns and Complaints Procedure

In the event that you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your treatment or care, you have a right to initiate a compliant by contacting the staff person responsible for your care or by contacting the human rights officer at the facility where you receive care. If you are uncomfortable making a complaint or need assistance with the process, you will be offered a copy of the Concern and Complaint Resolution Procedure or you can make a verbal or written request for a copy from a Community Connections staff at anytime. The staff member providing assistance will make every attempt to help you in resolving your complain.
When it cannot be resolved at this level, it ivill be considered a formal complaint, and you will be offered assistance in writing and submitting the complaint to the human rights officer and acquiring an advocate, if you prefer. The complaint will be logged by the human rights officer, and within four (4) business days of making a formal complaint, you will receive a written and verbal confirmation of the Human Rights officer's receipt of this complaint.

Within five (5) business days or less of the receipt of the compliant, the human rights officer will make an attempt at early resolution. If the problem is not resolved, the Human Rights Officer will investigate the circumstances around the compliant, including speaking with people who may have knowledge of the situation. The investigation will be completed within 15 days or less from the receipt of the complaint.

If the issue is resolved, a report noting the resolution will be forward to the designated department or staff person and you will also receive a copy. A copy will be filed for future reference as needed. If the issue is not resolved, you will be informed of your right to appeal. If you choose to appeal you will once again be offered an advocate and will be further assisted in filling out an appealClient/families will not be subject to any manner of discrimination, penalty, sanction or restriction for exercising their appeal rights.
