Complaints/ Questions
Complaints from children, young people and families who use ATWC services
ATWC recognises that making a complaint is not easy for many people, for all sorts of reasons. We encourage your feedback of our service - positive or negative.
Complaints from clients are handled as outlined in our complaints procedure, based on these important principles:
- resolving any problems as close as possible to the point of service delivery
- a speedy response
- a personal, rather than a bureaucratic response - for example, listening and understanding the complaint, rather than asking the person to put it in writing
- fairness to everyone involved
- confidentiality
- an element of independence
- recording, and learning from, the complaint
Most complaints are resolved at local level by taking a problem-solving approach.

Important notice
ATWC cannot undertake investigations into specific cases of child abuse. It is therefore important that if you have concerns about a child you should contact either Child Youth and Family Services or the police.
In circumstances where messages are emailed to this site that are considered to raise child protection issues the message will be forwarded to the police or Child Youth and Family Services.
