Ombuds Standards

What Happens When I Contact SCRC?
The process starts with a confidential conversation about the issue. We'll want to know what has happened, what action you've taken thus far, and what outcome you are looking to achieve. We'll brainstorm options with you and develop a personalized plan of action for going forward. It is your decision as to how or if you want to proceed.
