About the Ombudsman:

The Tenure Facility’s Ombudsman is a designated neutral party who advocates for fair and equitably administered processes. In the case the Grievance and Redress procedure fails to produce a satisfactory outcome, the Ombudsman may review a grievance made by a stakeholder and advise or make recommendations on actions needed to resolve the case. The Ombudsman maintains strict confidentiality and impartiality regarding all matters brought to his/her attention

The role of Ombudsman to the Tenure Facility has been held by Johan Munk since February 2022.

Additional details about the role of the Ombudsman can be found here.
