Intended outcomes and benefits:
As a result of this course participants will better understand how
student complaints are dealt with by the University and be better

will also have the opportunity to share experiences and identify sources
of support and guidance for dealing with student complaints.

Content:
The workshop will provide an overview of the operation of the Student
Complaints Procedure and how complaints are investigated and resolved.

discussion of case studies, the various matters that give rise to
complaints, actions that Schools should take and how they are resolved.
This will include a wide range of issues that concern undergraduate and
taught postgraduate students and postgraduate researchers. Participants
will also have an opportunity to ask questions and to share their own
experiences of dealing with student complaints.
