Make the policy more reachable

I think something that I would advise is to make the policy more reachable, the whole topic itself, because it’s not the same- for example, imagine that you are in a situation and you are trying to reach a telephone number that is not working, it’s not the same as when you’re trying to book an appointment, it is something that you need help with right away. Yeah, I guess having something more reachable to reach out or a closer system, that honestly would be really good. A telephone number or something like that.

Recommendations

  • Provide and promote alternatives to face-to-face disclosures and reporting, such as disclosure by text messaging or online.

  • Display QR codes providing immediate access to on- and off-campus supports and policy information in high-traffic areas on campus.

  • Ensure the policy is prominently situated and easy to locate on the university website.
