We are committed to resolving grievances in a timely way, and in alignment with our Participant Agreement.

Grievance Submission Process

Confidentiality
The confidentiality of the aggrieved individual will be maintained except when disclosure is required by law, necessary to prevent imminent harm, or authorized in writing by the individual. All confidential information will be shared only with authorized personnel involved in the complaint process.

Appeal Process – Filing an Appeal

If the individual who submitted the grievance is not satisfied with the Director’s decision or resolution, they may submit an appeal.

Final Decision

The appeal will be reviewed in consultation with the AEDP Institute Steering Committee and a final decision will be made jointly by the the committee and the relevant Director(s). Once this final decision is issued, the grievance process will be considered complete.
