10.1 The complaint process may be initiated by the Credentialing Subcommittee of the SOMB's receipt of a written complaint from any person regarding a credentialed Sex Offense Service Provider.

10.2 All complaints must be in writing and contain the following information:

10.2.1 The full name and address of the complainant;

10.2.1.1 Anonymous complaints will be accepted; however, if the Credentialing Subcommittee of the SOMB is unable to obtain sufficient information to substantiate the allegations, the complaint will be dismissed.

10.2.2 The name and address of the credentialed Sex Offense Service Provider; and

10.2.3 A clear and accurate statement of the facts describing the allegations against the credentialed Sex Offense Service Provider.

10.3 Complaints against individuals who are not credentialed Sex Offense Service Providers will not be reviewed by the Credentialing Subcommittee of the SOMB.

10.5 The identity of the complainant will remain confidential until it is determined that disciplinary action will be taken.

10.6 In the event that the complaint against the credentialed Sex Offense Service Provider was first brought to the attention of the SOMB, but also appears to encompass issues related to the credentialed Sex Offense Service Provider's professional license, the SOMB will forward the complaint to the Division of Professional Regulation in Delaware for their simultaneous review.

10.6.1 Complaints that are forwarded to the Division of Professional Regulation that appear to be significant and warrant immediate action by the Credentialing Subcommittee of the SOMB will be handled under the guidelines of the Emergency Suspension as listed in subsection 11.3 of this regulation.
