When a complaint is received, the Executive Director checks that the complaint contains all the necessary information listed in the How to File a Complaint section. If any information is missing, the Executive Director will contact the complainant.
All correspondence and documents relating to the complaint are forwarded to the Investigation Committee for review.
The Investigation Committee
The Investigation Committee, composed of three RPNs and two public representatives, reviews the complaint and determines how to best deal with the matter.
When the Investigation Committee reviews a complaint, there are certain actions they are permitted to take. The Committee’s options are identified in section 23(1) of the Registered Psychiatric Nurses Act and include:
If the complainant does not agree with the action, the complainant can appeal the Committee’s decision to the CRPNM Board of Directors.
If the RPN against whom the complaint was made does not agree to the action, the matter may be forwarded for full investigation or to the CRPNM Discipline Committee for a full hearing into the matter.
