The Redress Office
Accountability. Evidence. Resolution.
Advocacy and dispute management for situations where accountability has broken down.
The Redress Office brings structure, evidence and follow-through to disputes that might otherwise disappear into support queues, unanswered correspondence or organizational processes.
About
When accountability breaks down, the burden of proving what happened can fall heavily on the individual affected.
The Redress Office was created to bring structure to that process: establishing a clear record of what happened, preserving the evidence, understanding the relevant policies and rights, identifying a reasonable resolution, and determining what escalation pathways remain available when direct resolution fails.
At the heart of the Redress Office is a simple premise: a matter does not become insignificant simply because the organization on the other side fails to take it seriously.

Principles
-
Take the matter seriously.
A dispute does not become insignificant simply because an organization treats it that way.
-
Establish the record.
Document what happened, what was represented, what was agreed, and what evidence exists.
-
Understand the position.
Research the relevant terms, policies, rights, obligations and regulatory framework.
-
Seek reasonable resolution.
State clearly what would resolve the matter and provide a reasonable opportunity for response.
-
Escalate with purpose.
When direct resolution fails, identify and pursue appropriate external channels based on the evidence and circumstances.
