Why complaint files are hard to handle

A complaint about a practitioner can involve the complainant's health, legal or financial records, and the practitioner must be able to respond.

How it works in DekkoCORE

One complaint, from lodgement to the panel.

  1. Step 1

    Take the complaint

    Publish a submission link for complaints. Complainants upload documents and a statement with no account.

    • Submission link
  2. Step 2

    Redact what must stay private

    Redact the complainant's identity from the PDFs you'll share, where your process requires it.

    • Redaction
  3. Step 3

    Ask for a response

    Send the practitioner a guest link to upload their response into their own folder.

    • Guest link uploads
  4. Step 4

    Brief the panel

    Share the papers with panel members at View only.

    • View only
  5. Step 5

    Keep the record

    Every view, download and upload is recorded, and the audit log exports as CSV.

Questions

Is a complaint anonymous?

No. A submission link records the sender's IP address and approximate location, which your investigators can see.

How secure is the practitioner's link?

Anyone holding a guest link can use it, so send it only to the practitioner. Guest links last up to a month and can be renewed.

Does redaction work on scanned documents?

Redaction works on PDFs. A search finds words in a PDF's text, so scanned pages without a text layer need to be redacted by hand.

Can panel members download the papers?

Not with View only. They read the papers in the browser, and you can remove their access after the hearing.

Does this replace our case management system?

No. DekkoCORE holds and shares the documents, alongside the case system you already use.
