Investigating A Complaint
The Inquiry Officer will acknowledge receipt of the complaint as soon as possible but not later than five working days after receipt.
The Inquiry Officer will examine the complaint to establish if it relates to an alleged failure by TII to comply with Sections 25, 26, 27 & 28 of the Act. If the complaint is deemed to be invalid, i.e. the Inquiry Officer considers that the compliant does not relate to matters covered by Sections 25 to 28 of the Act, the Inquiry Officer will so inform the complainant and give supporting reasons and, if possible, will advise the complainant on alternative avenues of redress.
Where the Inquiry Officer considers that the complaint is frivolous or vexatious, s/he will notify the complainant of this determination in writing and provide the complainant with an opportunity to make representations on the matter. Otherwise, the Inquiry Officer will investigate the complaint in accordance with the following paragraphs.
The Inquiry Officer may request further information/details from the person who made the complaint and may require that such information/details be furnished within a maximum of two weeks of being requested.
The Inquiry Officer may consult with all parties that they consider appropriate regarding the matter and request information/reports/files and any other details from relevant officials. Any information requested must be furnished within a maximum of two weeks of being requested.
In the course of the investigation the Inquiry Officer may undertake interviews with such persons which they consider appropriate, including the person who made the complaint, to elicit information.
The Inquiry Officer will maintain a written record of their investigation.
The Inquiry Officer will prepare a written report of the results of the investigation setting out the findings together with a determination in relation to:
- whether there has been a failure by TII to comply with the relevant provisions of the Disability Act; and
- where there has been such a failure, the steps to be taken by TII to ensure future compliance with the relevant provision(s) of the Act.
The Inquiry Officer will give a copy of the report to the person who made the complaint.
The Inquiry Officer will complete their report within 20 working days from the receipt of all required information, including additional information requested from the complainant. Where a full report is not available within 20 days, the Inquiry Officer will send an interim reply and indicate when the report will be available.
The furnishing of the report to the person who made the complaint concludes the investigation of the complaint.
The complainant will be advised of the right of appeal to the Office of the Ombudsman, as set out below.
Right Of Appeal
