Procedure:

- The client should first notify staff on duty of any major complaint, change or grievance.
- The staff must document in writing any complaint, change or grievance communicated by the client.
- If the client is not satisfied that the grievance has been sufficiently addressed, they may choose to file a formal grievance with the director of the program.
