DESIGNATED STAFF FOR HANDLING COMPLAINTS

Taking into account the nature of the complaint, its scope and the people involved, schools may assign a designated staff or set up a task force to handle the complaint with reference to the following arrangements:

1) Staff members who are responsible for the appeal stage should be different from those responsible for the investigation stage. In principle, the staff dealing with the appeal should be of a higher rank than those responsible for the investigation. If this is not practicable, schools will make other arrangements, such as appointing staff from another department, to ensure fair handling.

2) Where necessary, schools/sponsoring bodies may establish a task force to handle special complaint cases. To enhance credibility, the school may invite independent persons such as social workers, lawyers, psychologists, and parents or teachers not involved in the case to join the task force to provide professional advice and support.

3) The appointed staff should be proactive in communicating with the enquirers/complainants, and prompt in providing responses as well as the information they need.
