What information do you need to include?

  • The name and address of the organization.

  • Tell us about your concern in one or two pages.

  • Give us your name, address or e-mail address if you would like follow-up information sent to you.

What happens to your incident?

  • We may write to the organization about your concern.

  • Sometimes, we visit the organization to see if there is a problem in meeting the requirements that deal with your concern.
