GRIEVANCE POLICY
At times, a situation may arise where parents or students have a concern or a complaint, where their or their child’s needs have not been adequately meet or addressed.
Relationships are very important in any community but in Catholic schools, quality relationships between all stakeholders is paramount. At the centre of any quality relationship, is trust. Children must feel that the school and home is united in expectations and desired outcomes. A child cannot ever sense that there is distrust between the two most important elements of their lives—home and school.
When addressing a grievance the integrity and respect of all individuals must be upheld, the discussion should be calm and collaborative, and the response pastoral and in line with school and diocesan policy and procedures. Grievances or problems are not suitably handled via “car park gossip” or through negative and highly emotive conversations.
