Complaints Against Members

As more agencies become HAP certified, it is likely that HAP will receive complaints from members of the public about member agencies. When such a situation arises it will be dealt with in accordance to HAP's Complaints Against Members Procedure.

Types of complaints

HAP will receive complaints against agencies concerning allegations of failure to apply, enforce, or otherwise implement, HAP accountability principles and/or the concerned agency’s own accountability framework.

Our role in resolving complaints

HAP will investigate a complaint if it is asked to do so by the agency concerned. Otherwise, the HAP Secretariat will forward a complaint to the agency and the HAP Standing Complaints Committee will monitor the agency's response. If the agency’s response is unsatisfactory, the Committee may take further action against the member.
