P-32.01 - Act respecting the National Student Ombudsman
Section 17
Disposition versions
17. The National Student Ombudsman is responsible for the adequate and optimal application of the provisions relating to the complaint processing procedure provided for by this Act.
For that purpose, the National Student Ombudsman promotes his or her role and that of the regional student ombudsmen, and disseminates information on the rights of students and homeschooled children, and their parents, to improve knowledge of those roles. The National Student Ombudsman also promotes the complaint processing procedure provided for by this Act.
The National Student Ombudsman also encourages concerted action by the regional student ombudsmen and the sharing of good practices applicable in the exercise of their functions. The National Student Ombudsman sees that the regional student ombudsmen receive the training relevant to the exercise of their functions, including on racism and discrimination, Indigenous realities and sexual violence as well as any matter the Minister determines.
Lastly, the National Student Ombudsman provides support to any regional student ombudsman who requires it for the purposes of processing a complaint, with due regard to their functions and the confidentiality of information. The National Student Ombudsman may thus give regional student ombudsmen an opinion on the means to be favoured or the solutions to be considered in dealing with a problem related to the exercise of their functions. The National Student Ombudsman also examines the complaints where the regional student ombudsmen consider it advisable to make conclusions or recommendations.
