Overcoming obstacles

A youth in care sought our help in filing a complaint about staff at her residential placement. She complained about the required forms not being made available, staff lacking knowledge about the complaints process, and not receiving a timely response. After we reached out to its director, the residence committed to ensuring the youth received the necessary forms, as well as assistance from staff. She was able to file her complaint, but told us it went unanswered for more than two weeks, so we contacted the director again. The youth later confirmed to us that her issues had been addressed, and she was happy with the outcome.
