STUDENTS COMPLAINTS POLICY

Definitions

Complaint
For the purposes of this policy a student complaint is “an expression of dissatisfaction by one or more students about provider’s action or lack of action, or about the service provided by or on behalf of the course provider.”

Feedback
A student may provide feedback which will be useful to a course provider when reviewing its policies and operations, without invoking this policy. Students are encouraged to provide feedback to the appropriate training provider in a prompt and constructive manner.

Who can use the Student Complaint Procedure?
Students applying for training courses provided by Marine Offshore Consultants may use this procedure.

This complaints procedure may only be used by an individual who is, or has been, registered as a student of Marine Offshore Consultants and who is not recorded as being a leaver (or, if they are a leaver, is complaining about events that occurred before they were a leaver, within the permitted timescales).

Applicants wishing to make a complaint should address the content of the current policy.

A group of students may use this procedure to make a collective complaint provided that one student identifies him/herself as the main contact for purposes of communication.

Anyone wishing to make a complaint is encouraged to do so personally. Where a third party (such as a company or direct manager) makes a complaint on behalf of a student, the student’s express written consent that the third party is acting on their behalf will be required. All correspondence will be copied to the student as well as to their representative unless otherwise agreed.

Anonymous complaints will not be considered unless there are exceptional and evidence-based reasons to do so. In many circumstances, raising a concern anonymously could impede investigation and communication of the outcome.

What issues constitute grounds for complaint under this policy?
The subject of the complaint should relate specifically to one or more of the following, or comparable, issues:
– failure of Marine Offshore Consultants to meet obligations including those outlined in course/student handbooks/brochures;
– misleading or incorrect information in prospectuses or promotional material and other information provided by the Marine Offshore Consultants;
– concerns about the delivery of a program, teaching, supervision or administration including, where applicable, that provided by a partner institution or contractor/trainer. (Please note: normally the student would be expected to follow the contractor/trainer institution’s complaints procedures in the first instance);
– poor quality of facilities, learning resources or services provided directly by Marine Offshore Consultants;
– complaints involving other third-parties or contractors providing a service on behalf of the University;
– complaints relating to allegations of bullying, harassment or victimisation by members of staff are associated with the Equality and Disability Policy within Marine Offshore Consultants and should be addressed to the Managing Director. If the complaint is within the scope of the Equality and Disability Policy and informal resolution is not appropriate then a formal investigation in accordance with the policy will be undertaken.

Complaints about the behaviour of students towards other students are to be treated separately with needed support provided by Marine Offshore Consultants.

What issues do not constitute grounds for complaint under this policy?
Challenges to the academic judgment of a member of staff and/or trainer. Cases where complaints are upheld and there has been a clear impact on an academic outcome may, however, lead to an academic conclusion e.g. allow a student a further attempt at an assessment.

A concern about a decision made by a member of staff and/or trainer regarding student progression, academic assessment and awards.

Dissatisfaction about the outcome of an academic misconduct or discipline process.

A concern about a decision made under specific regulations, such as fitness to practise.

A concern about the course provider’s decision relating to an extenuating circumstances claim on the basis of a procedural irregularity.

Principles of this policy
Complaints should be treated seriously and students must not suffer any disadvantage or recrimination as a result of making a complaint in good faith. However, students are required to abide by the principles of the present policy in making their complaint. It is expected that students and their representatives will conduct themselves responsibly and treat the complaints process and those members of Marine Offshore Consultants involved in the process with respect at all times.

In all cases, it is desirable that complaints are resolved informally and quickly between the relevant parties, and that the formal process is only started if that fails. Evidence of an attempt at informal resolution will be required.

Complaints must be substantiated with evidence, expressed in clear and succinct English and submitted within prescribed timescales.

Complaints submitted outside of the timescales stipulated in the procedure will only be considered in the most exceptional circumstances and where there is good reason, supported by evidence, for the late submission.
Marine Offshore Consultants is committed to ensuring that complaints are handled in accordance with its published procedure. Occasionally, it may be sensible for Marine Offshore Consultants to deviate from procedure if strict adherence to it could give rise to perceptions of prejudice or bias.

Complaint procedures are internal to a university and do not have the same degree of formality as a court of law. As such, legal representation in meetings is not necessary or appropriate for a student or Marine Offshore Consultants during the complaints process and will not, therefore, be permitted.
Complaints form part of Marine Offshore Consultants process of quality review and improvement and are considered as providing valuable feedback rather than criticism.
