NATURAL JUSTICE
The officer considering your complaint is required to apply the principles of natural justice while they
carry out their investigation. Natural justice involves informing the people being complained about of the
allegations against them and then giving them the right to respond. Natural justice also requires that the
investigating officer will approach your case without bias, will not have a personal interest in the outcome
and will only take action based on evidence.
What this means is that we would normally send a copy of the complaint to the person being complained
about and ask for their side of the story. If there is any reason why you do not want us to do this please tell us.
If we are unable to send a copy to the person being complained about the matter may not go any further.
Can we send a copy of your complaint form and attachments to the staff member(s) you are complaining about?
Yes
No
