Policy
Current applicants for accreditation/approval, current accredited/approved agencies/persons, or other IAAME stakeholders may submit a complaint to IAAME related to IAAME’s provision of accreditation/approval, oversight, and monitoring services (accrediting entity services). In line with 22 CFR Part 96.71(e), IAAME may not take action to discourage or retaliate against a person who wishes to file a complaint or grievance against IAAME.

If this action does not result in a satisfactory resolution, the individual may submit a complaint in writing to the IAAME Executive Director, which includes the name and contact information of the complainant, along with a description of the complaint. Complaints may be submitted through the IAAME website Contact page, or via email to: contact@IAAME.net.
