Following consideration of the complaint and any investigation into the issues raised, we will contact the person making the complaint and advise them:

• the outcome of the complaint and any action we took (with due regard and at all times adhering to privacy legislation pertaining to minor’s)
• the reason/s for our decision
• the remedy or resolution/s that we have proposed or put in place, and
• any options for review that may be available to the complainant, such as an internal review, external review or appeal.
