Public Exhibition: Unreasonable Complainant Conduct Policy
Central Coast Council revised the Unreasonable Complainant Conduct Policy, and the draft is currently on exhibition. Changes to the Unreasonable Complainant Conduct Policy was noted by Council at the 23 July 2024 Council Meeting - Item 2.12 Complaints Feedback Management Policy - For Adoption, and Unreasonable Complainant Conduct Policy - For Public Exhibition.
The policy aims to clearly identify unreasonable complainant conduct and outlines the approach taken by Council to respond to and manage these complaints effectively and with fairness and respect. It also clarifies how, when and where the policy is to be applied.
Our community provides us with valuable information every day and we want to ensure that this policy reflects what the community expect, while also safeguarding Council, Council staff, other service users and complainants, or the complainant themselves, from unreasonable conduct. It reaffirms Council’s commitment to continuous improvement and safety when issues do arise.
