Dissent/dispute/complaints
Any agency, adult or their carers have the right of access to complaints procedures should they disagree with any decision or outcome arising from the case conference process. Similarly all parties retain the right to request a review of their care provision at any time.
Under the Adult Support and Protection case conference procedures any dissent/dispute or complaint occurring, within the proceedings of the case conference must be recorded in the relevant Minute. The Chairperson holds ultimate responsibility for decision making within the Adult Support and Protection Case Conference and subsequent ASP Review Case Conferences. However, any serious dissent/dispute or complaint must be reported to senior management and local procedures followed to deal with disputes and complaints.
