Voluntary Undertaking and Agreement
Where there is evidence to support the allegation of professional incompetence, professional misconduct, or proprietary misconduct the Chair of the Complaints Committee, on behalf of the Complaints Committee, shall determine whether there is an opportunity to use an Alternative Dispute Resolution process to resolve the complaint. A resolution or remedy may result in Voluntary Undertaking, which is one form of an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
An ADR process, while not a discipline hearing, will result in an agreement between the College and the signatories of the agreement which meets the public protection mandate. Should the member and/or proprietor not agree to participate in an ADR the file is referred back to the Complaints Committee, which may result in referral to the Discipline Committee for a hearing. The SCPP Regulatory Bylaws Part P.1 section 3(12) and (13) state the ADR processes.
