Navigating external complaint systems can be confusing, at best. Each complaint system is a silo. Different external complaint systems only resolve certain issues, and are connected to their own laws or policies. Going down the wrong path can cost you wasted valuable time. There are different time constraints for different systems. I offer you all of the tips and information of my lived experience in how to navigate these external complaint systems. I have been testing the fence in all of these systems and pushing boundaries just by advocating to the fullest. Knowledge is power.
There is so much to know that is hidden. A maze filled with secret rules.
My mission is to empower families with the knowledge and tools to navigate external complaint systems in education.
As a parent or guardian, we will always be our child’s best advocate. My role is not to advocate for you. I provide you with my knowledge of these systems so that you can then take this information and apply it to your own family. You know your family best. Your resources, you strengths and your limitations.
Let me put it like this…you are the one who is fishing. I don’t fish for you. I provide you information and support so you are better off and are more likely to succeed in your fishing.
Nothing in life is guaranteed. I can’t guarantee you success. These systems are complex. What I can offer you is what I would have wished for myself. I would have LOVED someone to sit in front of me and tell me everything I can tell you. It would have saved me so much pain and made these processes so much easier and less stressful to know all of this in advance. There is information about these systems I just cannot post publicly.
This is my goal. I want to make this easier for other people. Navigating external complaint systems have the opportunity for accountability, and change that advocating internally may not provide. When hitting the brick wall, external complaint systems have the potential of knocking it down.
