DCA's Complaints Handling System

We do, however, encourage that comments and complaints about our work are raised and discussed with responsible DCA staff and managers as close to the activity as possible.

The Complaints Handling System presented here is viewed as the final possibility.

We have set up a system for handling complaints that is within the scope of DCA i.e.:

  • dotOur work in Denmark
  • dotImplementation of projects DCA supports or implements and 
  • dotBehaviour of DCA staff or staff supported by DCA donations

If the complaint is not within the scope of DCA, the complainant will be informed about that.

Issues not covered

All internal employment conditions as salary level, performance evaluations, working area etc. will not be handled within this system but referred to the internal staff complaint system.

Operational and sensitive complaints

The system is designed to handle both operational complaints and sensitive complaints. The system ensures that all information about sensitive complaints is handled confidentially.

A sensitive complaint is typically a complaint about corruption, sexual exploitation or another gross violation of our staff rules.

Please be aware that we do not accept anonymous complaints.

DCA guarantees that no complainant will be met by retaliation from DCA for filing a complaint.

False accusations

However, a staff member, who purposely makes false accusations about another staff member, will be subject to disciplinary action (warning/dismissal).
