HOW CONFEDERATION COLLEGE WILL RESPOND The College understands that individuals who have experienced sexual violence may wish to control whether and how their experience will be dealt with by the College and/or by the police. In most circumstances, the person will retain this control; however, if the College believes that the safety of other members of the College community are at risk, the College may be required to initiate an internal investigation and/or inform the police, even without the person’s consent. In these circumstances, the conﬁ dentiality and anonymity of the person(s) affected will be prioritized. Whenever a complaint of sexual violence has been reported to the College, the College will exercise care to protect and respect the rights of both the complainant and the respondent. A survivor who comes forward to report will be considered truthful. This does not imply that judgement has been rendered against the respondent. Confederation College is committed to creating awareness, preventing sexual violence and creating a safe space for anyone in our College community who has been affected by sexual violence. The College is expected to be a safe and positive space where members of the College community feel able to work, learn, live and express themselves in an environment free from sexual violence. Sexual assault and sexual violence are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
