Protection for Learners
Glin National College (GNC) offers students learner protection insurance, which ensures that learners of a validated programme of three months or longer leading to a QQI award have an opportunity to complete that programme, or are refunded the money most recently paid if that programme ends before they complete it. Each learner receives a Learner Protection Insurance Policy in their name and we will notify them in writing of any change in information within 14 days of becoming aware of that change.
Complaints Procedure
It is our policy to deal with any expression of dissatisfaction concerning our services or their provision in a fair manner. Complainants should raise their concerns as soon as possible, and where the conduct complained of is violent or criminal in nature, the Gardai will be contacted without delay.
While in no way diminishing the issue or the effects on individuals, an informal approach should be the first course of action as it can often easily resolve matters. If the situation or behaviour continues, the complainant can proceed to making a formal complaint. If a hearing by investigation is required, its results evaluate whether the complaint is valid or invalid, or is malicious, or whether there is insufficient evidence. If a complaint is not resolved to the satisfaction of the complainant, it may be referred again for internal review by Glin National College or in writing to the office of the Chairperson of the Board of Management.
