(2) The Manager and Principal Consultant have worked in education administrative positions in schools, district office and central office. Each has in excess of 30 years in a range of administrative and management positions, all of which have included significant aspects of complaints management. The Principal Consultant has also served for two and a half years on the Teacher's Tribunal, a constituent authority of the Industrial Relations Commission adjudicating matters affecting teachers of a disciplinary and a substandard performance nature, as well as more general industrial matters. Both officers were appointed to assist with the establishment and implementation of the Complaints Management Unit, which commenced operation in 2002 on account of their recognised systemic expertise and experience in the area of human resource and complaints management. Prior to this there was no centralised unit responsible for the co-ordination and management of complaints across the Department of Education and Training.
