* Changes in service delivery and billing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have affected individuals and communities differently. Care should be taken in comparing FY 20/21 data to data for previous years. In response to the pandemic and varied individual needs and circumstances, billing for some services changed to a monthly rate instead of hourly or daily rates. As a result, this may have reduced differences among individuals in service authorizations, expenditures, and utilization.

IRC’s code of ethics requires employees, officers, and board members to observe the highest ethical standards while conducting business on behalf of the agency. IRC’s Whistleblower Policy (English | Spanish) was established to ensure that any member of the IRC Community can report good faith suspicions, concerns, or inappropriate activity without fear of retaliation.
Whistleblower complaints can be made, anonymously, to the following groups at Inland Regional Center:
Executive/Associate Executive Directors | Board of Trustees | Human Resources | IRC Managers
Whistleblower complaints can also be submitted directly to the Department of Developmental Services.
The Consumer Complaint Process is used when a Client, or his/her representative, believes that a regional center or regional center service provider has withheld a right that the Client is entitled to by law. The goal of this process is to provide a thorough resolution when a rights infringement has occurred, while working to prevent similar occurrences in the future. To register a complaint, please use the Complaint Form/Investigation Request: English | Spanish
Completed complaint forms can be sent to [email protected].
Note: The Consumer Complaint Process is not used to resolve disputes regarding the scope, amount, or rates of services/supports in the Individual Program Plan (IPP). Such disputes are resolved via Fair Hearings.
