COMPLAINTS and GRIEVANCES

From time to time members may have a grievance or some cause for complaint about another member of March u3a, be it a Committee Member, Group Leader or ordinary member. In the first instance it is prudent to try to sort out the matter yourself. If this is not possible then the matter should be brought to the attention of either the Groups Coordinator in the case of a Group matter, or the Chairman or Committee member for anything else. This can be verbal, initially, but should always be followed up with a written statement.
March u3a abide by the procedures set out by the Third Age Trust and the procedure documents can be viewed on the GUIDANCE, POLICIES and PROCEDURES page.
Here you can also read the procedure for disciplinary action to be taken in the case of problems related to a breach or suspected breach of the agreed Code of Conduct by a member or Committee member.
