INFORMAL RESOLUTION
Where appropriate, complaints may be resolved informally through direct discussion and if a resolution is able to be achieved, such informal resolution shall be recorded in writing and sent to the customer. If the complaint is not able to be resolved informally, then it will progress to Level 1.
COMPLAINT – LEVEL 1
The Client shall firstly contact complaints@junipereducation.org. The Client’s communication shall include relevant details, context, and any supporting documentation to allow Juniper to effectively deal with the complaint. Upon receipt of the complaint, Juniper will promptly acknowledge receipt and forward the complaint to the relevant department manager or if regarding a manager to the person next in seniority.
Juniper shall then undertake a comprehensive and impartial investigation into the matter, considering all pertinent information and relevant records. A comprehensive response, outlining the findings and proposed resolution will then be communicated within 14 working days from the acknowledgment of the complaint.
COMPLAINT – LEVEL 2
Should the Client be unsatisfied with the response, a request for a second review can be made, which will prompt the engagement of an impartial senior member of Juniper’s’ management team. The senior team member shall conduct an impartial independent assessment of the complaint, and in good faith attempt to come to a resolution and communicate the results and any adjusted resolution proposal. The email address to which a second review can be requested is complaints@junipereducation.org
An acknowledgment shall be sent upon receipt of a request for a second review and a determination will be delivered within 14 working days of that acknowledgment.
