L’Arche is committed to providing quality service that is responsive to the needs of the individuals with an intellectual disability we support. We continually strive to improve services and recognize that information received through a complaints process may assist the community to take steps to better serve individuals and/or improve existing practices. The intent of this policy is to ensure that complaints are responded to fairly, promptly, and consistently, and wherever possible, resolved in a manner that enhances service provision and elevates best practice.

Complaints may be initiated by a person with an intellectual disability, individuals acting on their behalf, and other interested parties who have a concern related to the services and supports provided by Daybreak. L’Arche will take all complaints seriously and shall receive, document, review and where possible, resolve all complaints. The mechanism for resolving complaints will include a fair review process that is free of conflict of interest between the person who makes the complaint and the individual(s) involved in its review.
