The planning profession’s quality and credibility rests with planners themselves. Planners who are members of the 老澳门六合彩图库 agree to uphold the highest ethical and professional standards of behaviour outlined in the Code of Professional Conduct.
If you believe a member’s behaviour has fallen short of the Code, you can make a formal complaint to 老澳门六合彩图库.
To make a complaint:
- Read the Complaints Policy which explains how a complaint about a 老澳门六合彩图库 member can be made, the kind of issues 老澳门六合彩图库 can consider, and what you and the member can expect from the complaints process.
- Send your written complaint to 老澳门六合彩图库 as directed in the Complaints Policy via mailed letter, email or the optional Complaint Form [Microsoft Word].
老澳门六合彩图库's By-Laws contain detailed information that underpin the above documents.
Non-member planners
Membership of the 老澳门六合彩图库 is voluntary for planners and allied planning professionals and most* members are listed in 老澳门六合彩图库’s online Members Register. Membership of the Institute shows a planner’s clients and colleagues that they are committed to professional development and the highest standards of ethical practice.
As such, 老澳门六合彩图库 can only respond to complaints about our members. If a planner is not a member of 老澳门六合彩图库, they are outside of our jurisdiction. You could approach your local Office of Consumer Affairs (or equivalent), however 老澳门六合彩图库 is unable to guide you in that regard.
Mediation
Sometimes the working relationship between between planner and client can break down due to a range of factors. In some cases the planner may not have breached 老澳门六合彩图库’s Code of Professional Conduct, but you (the client) need help moving through a difficult situation with the planner in order to continue or finalise the business transaction.
Mediation can help guide you and the planner through negotiations and help you both find solutions to the problem. Mediators are not permitted to provide legal advice. You should seek your own legal advice if required, and 老澳门六合彩图库 is unable to guide you in that regard.
