All early childhood services that operate under the National Quality Framework must have policies and procedures for responding efficiently and appropriately to complaints.
Similarly, services that operate under the Education and Care Services Act 2013 (ECS Act) are required to have policies that address processes for dealing with any concerns of parents, guardians, staff members or carers.
Read the
guide for effective complaints management to develop a resolution-focused system including policies and procedures that inform continuous quality improvement.
