A Grievance Redressal Committee’s primary role is to address and resolve complaints or grievances from students, faculty, and staff within a specific institution.
The committee establishes a formal mechanism for receiving and recording grievances, ensuring a clear path for individuals to report issues.
Once a grievance is received, the committee investigates the matter thoroughly and impartially, gathering evidence and determining the nature and severity of the complaint.
The committee works towards resolving grievances through various means, including mediation, conciliation, or other appropriate mechanisms.
The committee maintains records of all grievances, including the resolution process and outcomes, ensuring transparency and accountability.
The committee may need to coordinate with other relevant departments or committees to address complex or serious complaints.
The committee may review and monitor the institution’s policies and procedures related to grievance redressal, as well as raise awareness about the grievance redressal mechanism among students, faculty, and staff.
The committee ensures that complainants are protected from retaliation and that their identity is kept confidential when appropriate.
