Introduction

This guide and self audit tool has been developed to assist disability service providers develop and review their complaints resolution process to ensure that it:

  • is responsive and accessible to people with disability
  • forms part of a broader quality culture that sees complaints as an opportunity for service improvement.

For complaints handling policies to translate into good practice, services must commit to a plan of action that is supported by its board of management and executive leadership group. Equally, managers should actively involve their staff and the people using the service in any review process to ensure that it meets everyone’s needs. Whilst this guide has a specific focus on complaints it is important to recognise that this is just one way an organisation can receive feedback from the people using their services. Successful organisations will provide ongoing opportunities for people with disability, their families and carers to provide feedback as a key influence on service improvement.
