Southwestern child Care Reosource and Referral is not a monitoring agency. SWCCRR does not investigate complaints. SWCCRR encourages communication between the customer and the program as a means to resolve complaints and concerns. When a customer makes a complaint about a facility, the customer is asked his/her name, address and telephone number. This information is kept confidential unless the customer gives SWCCRR permission to use his/her name. The staff person documents this information and, in addition, obtains information about the facility and the specific incident or concern.
