Annual notice: How to file a complaint with RESNA
All iNRRTS members and Registrants should be aware of the options they have if they believe RESNA-certified ATPs are engaging in unethical practices in violation of our Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. The Complaints Review Committee of the Professional Standards Board may investigate and subsequently act when/if it receives evidence that a certified ATP has engaged in conduct that undermines the integrity of the certification process and/or the credential. Â
In the certification section of the RESNA website, there is clear information about the types of complaints that can be filed, as well as a downloadable copy of the complaints policy. Anyone can file a complaint, including consumers. There is an online complaint form that is easy to use and convenient.
Please note that we cannot accept complaints about professionals who are not RESNA certified. We also cannot accept anonymous or hearsay complaints. The person filing the complaint must have direct knowledge of the unethical practice violation. Please contact certification@resna.org if you have questions. Feel free to ask to speak to me if you are unsure or wish to discuss something.
