Complaint resolution

The College's Complaint Resolution Program (CR) promotes the resolution of suitable complaints.

The College assesses every complaint to determine whether it is suitable for CR. A complaint is considered suitable for resolution if it appears the matter could be resolved by way of agreement, in the public interest, without a full investigation and potential discipline hearing.

CR also allows the College to resolve complaints more expeditiously, in line with the College's commitment to be both nimble and accountable to members whose conduct has been impugned.

Certain types of allegations, such as sexual misconduct, sexual abuse, prohibited acts involving child pornography, prescribed sexual acts and incapacity are not suitable for participation in the CR program.

In 2022, the College resolved 82 complaints through the CR program.
