We encourage anyone with a complaint to speak directly to a Rad Community Support Services staff member in the first instance, who will attempt to resolve the issue immediately. If the matter cannot be resolved promptly or within 24 hours, it will be escalated to Rad Community Support Services’ Management Team as a grievance.
