Complaints Process
Behaviour of all parties
Your complaint will be received with a positive attitude and treated promptly and fairly. When engaged in our complaints process, Kites expects its staff, volunteers and stakeholders to: respect each other’s dignity; be fair and courteous to each other; keep all matters confidential and give high priority to resolving the complaint.
Kites will not respond to complaints made by any person whose conduct during the process is unreasonable.
