This commitment to promote a safe environment and culture is part of our mission: to honour the unique value of every human being.

Reporting a concern or submitting a complaint

We want all our members and stakeholders to speak up if they see or experience situations that are causing harm.

Please note that when you submit a complaint the link will take you to a form that goes to a third-party to review and send to L’Arche for processing. Complaints that are specific to L’Arche Sudbury will go to a Regional Leader to be processed with the community.
