SFCP Ombuds

The SFCP Ombuds works with individuals and groups within SFCP to:

  1. provide a safe space to talk about an issue or concern, 
  2. explore options to help resolve conflicts, and 
  3. bring systemic concerns to the attention of the organization for resolution.

The Ombuds operates in a manner to preserve the confidentiality of those seeking services, maintains a neutral/impartial position with respect to the concerns raised, works at an informal level of the organizational system (compared to more formal channels that are available), and is independent of formal organizational structures.

If you would like to talk to our Ombudsperson, Tina St Lorant, about any issues, you can reach her at: tstlorant@gmail.com or (408) 236-2070.
