As part of Scwexmx Child and Family Services Societies (SCFSS) commitment to children, young people, families, and community, we have implemented a complaint resolution process to resolve issues in a fair, honest, and open manner.
A complaint is accepted if it is about a decision, act or failure to act related to SCFSS. The following represents the steps taken toward complaint resolution.
Gaining community feedback is important to us.
SCFSS is committed to a Resolution, where you have the opportunity to be actively involved with the SCFSS employee.
Administrative Review provides an examination of your complaint issue(s) by a Review Authority. The Review Authority is a person who has not been involved in any matters related to the complaint.
An advocate can participate in the complaints process with your consent. They can help you make a complaint, go with you to meetings for support or help you say what you need.
Who can be an advocate?
