Task Force Working Groups

Develop a draft sexual assault policy and review other
policies and procedures that address sexual assault

other institutional partners to create new programming that
reflects best practices
• Reporting and Response:
Develop and recommend clear reporting and response
protocols
• Communication:
Recommend communication plans regarding the three items
above
6THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY
Some general recommendations
• A stand-alone policy on sexual violence
at TRU
• Hiring a sexual violence prevention and
response officer
• Better communicate support and
response processes to students,
faculty and staff
• Continued strong partnerships with
community agencies
• Educational programming
7THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY
Some important learning
• TRU has a strong history of educating about
sexual consent and drug-facilitated sexual
assault
• Many more students experience sexual assault
than disclose or report on campus (NCHA data
2013, 2016)
• Need to address broader issue of sexual
violence
• Community partnerships are key
• No clear understanding of where to direct
survivors for support or general information
• If you build it…
