Complaints must be addressed in an equitable, objective, unbiased and efficient manner. The following measures must be implemented in this respect:
(a) Impartiality:i. Measures must be taken to protect the person the complaint is made against from bias;ii. The investigation must be carried out by a person independent of the person complained about.(b) Confidentiality:i. Ensure confidentiality for staff who have a complaint made against them and the details must only be known to those directly concerned;ii. Customer information must be protected and not disclosed, unless the customer consents otherwise; andiii. Protect the customer and customer’s identity as far as is reasonable to avoid deterring complaints due to fear of inconvenience or discrimination.Added: January 2022
