I have a safety, student conduct query; what must I do?
In accordance with the IIE015 Safety, Student Conduct and Disciplinary Policy and PDIIE015 Procedure document, students are required to log any complaint, dispute or grievance via the Student Hub:
The complaints process can be used if you do not wish to escalate the matter to become a disciplinary issue, however you can choose how you want your grievance to be handled:
Complaint Resolution Level 1: Mediation |
- The complainant (the person laying the complaint) must log the complaint on the Student Hub and the relevant Student Hub Academic Operations Co-ordinator will forward it to the relevant student support team member.
- If the complainant doesn’t want to interact with the respondent (the person whom the complaint it about) then they must put in writing how they want the situation to be resolved.
- The campus representative will then mediate between the complainant and the respondent. This needs to happen within five days.
- Depending on the outcome the complainant can either drop the complaint or make a formal complaint (level 2).
Complaint Resolution Level 2: Conciliation |
- To be used if Level 1 has not worked in resolving the issue.
- Student has 10 days to lodge a Level 2 complaint via the Student Hub after the Level 1 process has been concluded.
- There are five days allocated to investigate and resolve the complaint.
- The campus disciplinary offer will follow the process outlined in IIE015
- Student can choose a representative (fellow student, staff member or independent contractor).
- If a mediator is chosen to facilitate the formal meditation, then this will happen within five days of appointment of the mediator.
- If Level 2 does not bring a solution, then the disciplinary route must be followed.
