Complaint Process
Step One
Learner (or other complainant) expresses concerns of academic issues to the trainer. If the complainant is uncomfortable with this approach, or is unsatisfied with the outcome, he/she should approach MITA Senior Management.
Step Two
If a MITA Senior Manager cannot address the complaint to the satisfaction of the complainant, and/or considers the complaint is of a serious nature, he/she will request the complainant to put the complaint in writing in a formal letter
The MITA Senior Manager will acknowledge receipt of the letter within three working days of receipt.
Step Three
The MITA Senior Manager will meet with at least two staff members, and a member of the WDC if appropriate, to consider the complaint /academic issue and convey a decision on the outcome within 10 working days of receiving the formal complaint.
If the complainant is still not satisfied, proceed to step four
Step Four
Learner must be advised of the next procedure: the NZQA complaint process, Human Rights Commission, OSH, legal remedies etc., should he or she choose this course of action. https://www2.nzqa.govt.nz/about-us/contact-us/complaint/
