What can you complain about?

Complaints may focus on relevant topics of maladministration such as inefficient, bad or improper administration. These terms include:

  • bias, partiality
  • neglect, inattention
  • delay
  • abuse of power
  • incompetence, ineptitude
  • perversity, rudeness
  • unwillingness to treat the resident as a person with rights
  • refusal to answer reasonable questions
  • neglecting to inform a complainant about rights or entitlement, including appeal routes
  • knowingly giving misleading or inadequate advice
  • offering no redress
  • faulty procedures
  • failure by management to adequately monitor compliance with procedures
  • failure to reduce the effects of rigid adherence to the letter of the law where that produces inequitable results.

Some topics cannot be investigated, e.g. court cases.
