Our Role

The office of an ombudsperson is a safe harbour. There is no vengeance here. There are no losers. Simply fair process, valuing difference in the many ways it presents. We strive for the restoration of human dignity, of personal well-being

The office of Ombudsperson plays 3 important roles:

  • 1
    It provides all who approach the Ombuds Office with a confidential and safe place to discuss their concerns and to think about various options to effectively resolve them

    At Office of the Ombudsperson, we listen to understand issues while remaining neutral with respect to the facts. The ombudsperson doesn’t listen to judge or to decide who is right or wrong. The ombudsman listens to understand the issue from the perspective of the individual. This is a critical step in developing options for resolution. We assist in reframing issues and developing and helping individuals evaluate options. This helps individuals identify the interests of various parties to the issues and helps focus efforts on potential options to meet those interests. We refer individuals to appropriate resolution resources. An ombudsman may refer individuals to one or more formal organizational resources that can potentially resolve the issue. The Ombudsperson will treat all disclosures in a confidential and sensitive manner. Only exception to this rule is where there appears to be imminent risk of serious harm and where there is no other reasonable option
