Be a trustworthy person

Participant 1: I don't know what word to phrase it with, but [to support a survivor well], you can't be someone who spreads it around.

Recommendations

  • In the policy itself and in materials and presentations promoting the policy, define "confidential" and "anonymous," and explain how these concepts pertain to the policy, university-based sexual assault services, and the limits on confidentiality and anonymity.
