                                                    ·         The mosque takes concerns/complaints seriously and will respond to them in a courteous and efficient manner.

                                                    ·         An effective procedure for making and resolving complaints (including appeals) from members of the public is established.

                                                    ·         People wishing to make a complaint know how to do so.

                                                    ·         All individuals who use the LMM premises are treated fairly and given an opportunity to redress any allegations against them.

                                                    ·         All those involved in handling a complaint make every effort to resolve matters quickly and amicably.

                                                    In the unfortunate event that it becomes necessary for the LMM BOD to take disciplinary action, to ensure their rights of individuals are respected throughout the whole procedure. 

                                                    Grievance Procedure

                                                    This procedure covers any grievances relating to a member, non-member, staff or LMM BOD member. This process is designed so that all individuals are fully aware of their rights and the subsequent process to deal with any disciplinary matters.

                                                    Stage 1: Raising Concerns Informally
                                                    We will aim to resolve the complaint without the need for a formal procedure. The formal procedure will only be necessary if efforts to resolve the complaint informally have been unsuccessful.
                                                    Anyone can raise a concern/complaint informally by contacting the Chair of LMM BOD or a staff member of the Mosque. This can be done by email or letter.
                                                    The mosque will take every reasonable step to ensure that a complaint is resolved within 5 working days of the complaint being lodged and where necessary appropriate action will be taken.

                                                    Stage 2: Dealing with a Complaint – Formal Procedure
                                                    This procedure will be followed when the initial attempt to resolve the issue has been unsuccessful and the person raising the complaint wishes to take it further. In this case a formal complaint should be made in writing and referred directly to the LMM BOD.

                                                    Investigating Complaints

                                                    1.       As soon as possible after the complaint has been lodged, a senior member of staff or management, appointed by the LMM BOD will contact the complainant. The purpose of this contact is to make an initial response and to explain how the mosque intends to investigate the matter, how long the investigation is likely to take and when to expect a response. Where in the course of an investigation it becomes clear that this date is likely to be exceeded, the complainant will be informed of a new response date set.

                                                    2.      At the end of the investigation, the complainant will be informed in writing of the outcome. This will include the conclusion reached, the reasons for it and any action taken or proposed.

                                                    3.      The complaints made will not adversely affect the complainants' use of the mosque.


                                                    Confidentiality

                                                    4.      Subject to points 7 and 8 (below) any complaint or concern, viewpoint, etc. raised by complainants will be treated as confidential.

                                                    5.      Knowledge of the complaint will be restricted to those who, for various reasons,

                                                    need to know about it. This will include the member of staff initiating the contact with the complainant and BOD member investigating the complaint and any other member of staff otherwise involved.

                                                    6.      On occasion, however, it may be necessary to inform third parties of the complaint and, possibly, the identities of those involved. The most obvious example of this is where an investigation suggests that a criminal offence has taken place. In such circumstances, the Mosque would cease its investigation and refer the matter to the relevant external agencies. 


                                                    Disciplinary action taken against staff

                                                    7.      It may be the case that, as a result of a complaint made by a complainant, disciplinary action may be taken against a member of staff employed at the mosque.

                                                    8.      Where this occurs, any such action will be taken in accordance with the official

                                                    staff Discipline Policy in the LMM Employee Handbook and will be handled confidentially.


                                                    Stage 3 - The Panel Hearing

                                                    9.      The mosque hopes that a complainant making a complaint will be satisfied with

                                                    the outcome at stage 2. Certainly, it will make every reasonable effort to ensure that each complaint is fully and properly investigated and that the issues raised are considered in a fair and professional manner.

                                                    10. However, where the complainant is dissatisfied either with the outcome of an investigation or the manner in which the complaint was handled, they should inform the LMM BOD in writing by letter or email.

                                                    11. Upon receipt of a request for a panel hearing, the LMM BOD will convene a panel to hear the complaint within 10 working days of receiving the complaint. 
                                                    The Panel

                                                    12. The panel will include three people. None of the panel members shall be directly involved either in the matters detailed in the complaint or its investigation and adjudication prior to this point and shall be independent of the management and running of the mosque. The panel will be selected by the LMM BOD.

                                                    13. The appeal panel will have access to all relevant documentation already provided.

                                                    15. The panel will make the final decision in respect of the complaint. It may, if it so chooses, also attach recommendations to its findings.

                                                    Complaints against the Board of Directors Members

                                                    18. Where a BOD Member is the subject of the complaint, the matter should be referred directly and in writing to the LMM BOD. The LMM BOD will then contact the complainant in order to explain how the complaint will be investigated, how long an investigation is likely to take and when they might expect a final response.

                                                    19. The LMM BOD will appoint a person to investigate the complaint and report his/her findings to them. After considering this report, the LMM BOD will then write to the complainant within five working days. This letter will include the conclusion reached, the reasons for it and any action taken or proposed.

                                                    20. If the complainant is dissatisfied with this response, they should write to the LMM BOD to request that the matter be referred to a panel hearing.

                                                    21. The composition of the panel, its purpose and procedure are set out above.

                                                    If an individual is found to be in violation of LMM rules and policies, the LMM BOD will deal with all such matter as follows:

                                                    1.      The individual will be given a formal verbal warning, or if the matter is of a serious nature, a written warning will be given, describing the nature of the offence and the likely consequences of further offences.

                                                    3.      Should there be yet a further offence or misconduct, the individual will be subject to immediate revocation of membership, dismissal from the Mosque premises for a period deemed necessary by the BOD.

                                                    Preamble

                                                    To ensure smooth operation of London Muslim Mosque and to better serve the community, the following rules have been formulated and will be implemented. Mosques are the houses of Allah and all actions done in the Mosque should be for the sake of Allah, and according to the Quran and Sunnah. As a house of Allah, the Mosque should be respected and not used in a way that displeases Allah. The following rules are for all users of the London Muslim Mosque.

                                                    London Muslim Mosque is a non-profit organization, and therefore it relies on its members to support its continual operation through donations of money, time, and any help possible. Mosque properties include the building, fixtures, furniture, books, equipment, electronics devices such as cameras, computers, printers, copiers, fax machines and any other items of value inside the building or stored outside its premises are for the benefit of the Mosque. Nobody is allowed to take, borrow, use, relocate, store, donate, replace, rent, sublease, salvage Mosque properties, or make any decision pertaining to Mosque properties without the prior approval from the Management Team. Such infringements against Mosque properties temporarily or otherwise will be considered as an act of transgression against the Mosque and its members and appropriate measures will be taken including legal actions. Items removed from the Mosque facilities temporarily or otherwise will be considered as taken without authorization and appropriate measures will be taken. Furthermore, any damage to facilities, whether purposely or otherwise will be considered as an act of vandalism unless appropriate remedies are discussed and approved by the Management Team. (The London Muslim Mosque reserves the right to persecute any person/group for improper usage of facilities for damage to facilities, loss of items, trespassing, etc.).

                                                    No member or guest shall engage in any behavior that causes a disturbance to the peaceful enjoyment of the mosque for other members or guests in the premises of London Muslim Mosque. This includes, but is not limited to, loud noises, rowdiness, or any other behavior that may be deemed disruptive or offensive, including, but not limited to, physical and verbal attacks or abuse against other members, guests, or volunteers. Any member or guest found to be in violation of these rules of conduct may be subject to disciplinary action, including suspension of membership privileges, and if necessary, the issuance of a restraining order, as determined by the Board of Directors/Management team.
