Professional Conduct Committee

The ACL has established a Professional Conduct Committee (PCC), responsible for responding to complaints raised under the Anti-Harassment Policy.

Membership

PCC members serve (renewable) 3-year terms, with the co-chairs serving 5-year terms in that position, and have all received training in mediation. The current PCC members are as follows:

ACL members who have a complaint to raise under the anti-harassment policy are invited to approach any PCC member. The PCC will act to protect the privacy of both Complainants and Respondents, to the extent feasible and reasonable. Complaints are strictly confidential and the PCC will never reveal any information without explicit consent from the Complainant. However, the PCC cannot take action without revealing the complaint to the Respondent. In some cases, it may be possible to do that without revealing the identity of the Complainant, but often not. Complainants will be advised before information regarding their complaint is shared and their identity will not be revealed without their explicit consent.

Information will not be shared beyond the PCC and Respondent by PCC members, ACL Exec members approached by the Complainant, or ACL staff. The only exception is in cases where the PCC decides that formal consequences are required and even in such cases information will only be shared to the extent necessary to implement the formal sanctions.
