Our ombuds service provides an impartial, confidential space for resolving concerns related to our organization.
SOCAN is committed to fairness, transparency, and accountability within its organization and with its members. A dedicated ombudsperson offers all members an enhanced Conflict Resolution Procedure for disputes and complaints. SOCAN’s ombudsperson is Mireille Tabib, a former Associate Judge for the Federal Court for 20 years and a skilled mediator. SOCAN’s Conflict Resolution Procedure, and the appointment of Tabib ensure that SOCAN continues to honour its commitment to transparency and accountability with its members.
The ombudsperson acts as an independent third party and can step in to handle certain SOCAN member disputes and complaints, in English and French. Any SOCAN member can submit a formal complaint to SOCAN.
