Procedure, formal, and informal complaint process can be found in Section 7 of Workplace Harassment Policy SPP No. 5.03.MB
Children’s Hospital Research Institute recognizes that individuals may find it difficult to come forward with a complaint under this Statement of Policy and Procedure because of concerns of confidentiality. Therefore, all complaints concerning workplace or sexual harassment or discrimination, as well as the names of parties involved, shall be treated as confidential.

No record of the complaint will be maintained on the personnel file of the complainant. If there is a finding of improper conduct that results in disciplinary action, it will be reflected only on the file of the person who engaged in such conduct, in the same way as any other disciplinary action.
