Disclosure

Notify SVPR of a disclosure. Please note: Policy BRD 25-0 requires all faculty and staff who receive a disclosure to notify SVPR staff. This allows SVPR staff to support victims/survivors as well as members of the TRU community who are providing care and response to those victims/survivors, and to collect relevant data on the issue.
