In provincial proceedings clinicians may assist clients in completing the Complaint or Response Forms at the initial stages. Beyond this, LSLAP’s role is usually limited to less complex cases where the scheduled hearing is set for two days or fewer. Where LSLAP cannot help directly, we can refer complainants to the B.C. Human Rights Clinic who may be able to assist low-income, or disabled persons who cannot represent themselves in all aspects of their human rights matter if they qualify for services. | In provincial proceedings clinicians may assist clients in completing the Complaint or Response Forms at the initial stages.

The BC Human Rights Clinic will take applications for assistance made within thirty days after a complaint has been accepted for filing. However, there may be more limited assistance available for those who are applying beyond the thirty days. In the federal system the Canadian Human Rights Commission [CHRC] has been set up to assist individuals to draft complaints and facilitate mediation. Students should therefore refer clients to the CHRC for assistance, though they can remain involved in the process by providing representation at mediation.
