FÁS CLIENTS - COMPLAINTS PROCEDURES

General

Complaints from FÁS clients are dealt with in a professional, trustworthy and confidential manner.

The Complaints Procedure is available to FÁS Clients.

The Complaints Procedure does not apply to FÁS staff or those providing services to FÁS.

THE COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE

Stage 1

Participants on FÁS Training Centre Courses:
The complaint should be addressed to the Instructor, Tutor or Facilitator.

If the complaint remains unresolved it should be referred to the FÁS Training Centre Manager.

Participants on FÁS Employment Programmes:

For those engaged on employment programmes (Community Employment, Social Economy, Job Initiative, etc) the complaint should be addressed to the immediate Supervisor.

If the complaint remains unresolved it should be referred to the Programme Sponsor (the Employer).

If the complaint continues to be unresolved it should be referred to the FÁS Community Employment Officer responsible for the project.

Other Members of the public:

If a member of the public wishes to raise a complaint about a particular department of FÁS , they should address the complaint to the specific Department Manager.

Stage 2

If having progressed through the 1st stage, the complaint remains unresolved; the client should refer the matter to:
