=== Special Resolution | === Resolution 7 === | ||
<blockquote> | |||
That an improved Grievance Procedure is produced by the Trustees in full consultation with the membership and approved in a monthly meeting within the next two months. | |||
The new procedure should consider the co-operative principles of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. The procedure should | |||
consider that Trustees are volunteers with often limited amounts of time available. | |||
This procedure should provide that: | |||
* Reasonable limits are imposed on the age of complaints and the amount of time in which Trustees should deal with them. | |||
* The nature of evidence which should be considered by the Trustees in evaluating a complaint, both under the Rules and the Code of Conduct, is clearly defined. | |||
* The level of evidence required to issue informal and formal warnings is clearly defined. | |||
* The largest possible amount of information about each case should be made available to the membership, considering that some complaints may contain information that the complainant wishes to keep confidential, and also that members who are being complained about should not be unreasonably judged by honest mistakes. | |||
* Records should be kept of all complaints and their resolution. | |||
* If possible, a method of appealing against a Grievance Procedure judgment should be available. | |||
* Any changes to this approved Grievance Procedure should be made by the membership, and not by the Trustees alone. | |||
