Policy:

The management of Behaviorprise College is committed to the prevention of campus sexual violence/harassment and is ultimately responsible for staff and students’ health and safety. We will take whatever steps are reasonable and necessary to protect our staff and students from campus violence and harassment from all sources.

Behaviorprise Management will adhere to this policy and the supporting procedure. Behaviorprise Management is responsible for ensuring that measures and procedures are followed by all students and employees of the college and that students and college staff have the information they need to guard against campus violence and/or harassment. We will also ensure that should a student or college staff go through any campus violence and/or harassment, a clear guideline on what to do is outlined and that appropriate supports are provided.

SECTION I: DEFINITIONS

The following definitions are intended to assist in the interpretation of this Policy, as well as other related College policies:

Complainant: A Member of the College has disclosed or reported an incident of Sexual Violence experienced by that individual.

Respondent: Someone against whom an allegation of Sexual Violence has been made.

Disclosure: The sharing of information by an individual with a Member of the College Community regarding an incident of Sexual Violence experienced by that individual.

Reporting: The sharing of information by an individual with a designated Member of the college community regarding an incident of Sexual Violence experienced by that individual, with the intention of initiating one of the processes set out in this Policy, which could result in disciplinary action being taken against the Member of the college community alleged to have committed Sexual Violence.

Incident of Sexual Violence: Includes any instance of Sexual Violence, including Sexual Harassment and all associated definitions provided herein.

Sexual Violence: Any sexual act or act targeting a person’s sexuality, gender identity or gender expression, whether the act is physical or psychological in nature, that is committed, threatened or attempted against a person without the person’s consent, and includes Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, stalking, indecent exposure, voyeurism, and sexual exploitation.

Sexual Harassment: Includes but is not limited to engaging in a course of vexatious comments or conduct that is known or ought to be known to be unwelcome. For the purpose of this Policy, Sexual Harassment includes workplace sexual harassment. Sexual Harassment includes any sexual solicitation or advance made by a person in a position to confer, grant or deny a benefit or advancement to the person where the person making the solicitation or advance knows or ought reasonably to know that it is unwelcome. Sexual harassment also includes a reprisal or a threat of reprisal for the rejection of a sexual solicitation or advance, where the reprisal is made or threatened by a person in a position to confer, grant or deny a benefit or advancement to the person.

Sexual Assault: Any form of sexual contact without a person’s consent, including the threat of sexual contact without consent. A Sexual Assault can range from unwanted sexual touching to forced sexual intercourse; and a Sexual Assault can involve situations where sexual activity is obtained by someone abusing a position of trust, power or authority.

Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment including Cyber Sexual Violence: Includes but is not limited to knowingly publishing, distributing, transmitting, selling, making available or advertising an intimate image of a person, knowing that the person depicted in the image did not give their consent to that conduct, or being reckless as to whether or not that person gave their consent to that conduct. An intimate image includes but is not limited to a visual recording of a person made by any means, including a photographic, digital or video recording, in which the person is nude and/or engaged in sexual activity.

Consenting to one kind of sexual act does not mean that consent is given for another sexual act or kind of activity. Consent is NOT obtained where a person is incapable of consenting – for example due to intoxication, or where a person is induced to engage in the activity by someone abusing a position of trust, power or authority. As per the Criminal Code of Canada, it is not a defence to an allegation of Sexual Violence that the Respondent believed that the Complainant consented to the activity that forms the subject matter of the complaint, where (a) the Respondent’s belief arose from the Respondent’s (i) self-induced intoxication; or (ii) recklessness or wilful blindness; or (b) the Respondent did not take reasonable steps, in the circumstances known to the accused at the time, to ascertain that the Complainant was consenting.

Non-adjudicative Resolution: this terms refers to a resolution of the matters alleged in a Report that is agreed to by both the Complainant and the Respondent.

Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment

1. All members of the College community should have the ability to study and work in a campus environment free from Sexual Violence, including Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment. Sexual Violence is a serious issue that undermines the health, well-being, and security of individuals, communities, and society. Addressing the causes and consequences of Sexual Violence requires the deliberate and collective efforts of governments, institutions, and citizens.
2. The College is committed to making available programs and resources to educate its community on the prevention of and response to Sexual Violence. The College is committed to responding to and addressing incidents and complaints of Sexual Violence involving its students, staff and faculty, and to ensuring that those members of the community who are affected by Sexual Violence receive support.
3. The College recognizes that Sexual Violence can occur between individuals regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, or relationship status. The College recognizes the intersection of Sexual Violence with discrimination and harassment, including but not limited to the grounds set out in the Ontario Human Rights Code. The College recognizes that individuals from historically marginalized communities may be disproportionately affected by Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence.
4. Sexual Violence can be committed against any person and is an issue that requires an inclusive response. The College recognizes that Sexual Violence is overwhelmingly committed against women, and in particular women who experience the intersection of multiple identities such as, but not limited to, indigenous women, women with disabilities, and racialized women. Additionally, the College recognizes that those whose gender identity or gender expression does not conform to historical gender norms are also at increased risk of Sexual Violence.
5. The College recognizes that individuals who have experienced Sexual Violence experience a range of effects that can profoundly affect their lives.

SECTION II: APPLICATION AND SCOPE

6. This Policy applies to all Members of the College Community and all Members of the College Community will be offered appropriate support with respect to issues of Sexual Violence, regardless of their role in the College or the role of the person against whom an allegation is made. This Policy relies on a centralized system of Reporting, investigation and decision-making for complaints of Sexual Violence in order to avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest or reasonable apprehension of bias, to preserve privacy, to minimize risk of reprisal, and to ensure coordination and consistency across all academic divisions and campuses.
7. The Reporting procedure and the processes it initiates apply to all incidents of Sexual Violence in which both the Complainant and the Respondent are Members of the College Community, regardless of whether the event occurred on campus, off campus, or using social media or other electronic media.
8. Support will be made available under this Policy to Complainants regardless of whether the Respondent is a Member of the College Community.

SECTION III: EDUCATION, SUPPORT AND RESOURCES

9. The College provides support to Members of the College Community who have experienced Sexual Violence and to those who receive a disclosure or report of an incident of Sexual Violence. See Disclosure section below.
10. The College’s office (Office) dedicated to prevention and support of Sexual Violence is made up of the School Director and the Campus Administrator. The Office has the mandate to conduct intake, accept Disclosure and Reporting of Sexual Violence, and provide support to individual Members of the College Community who have experienced Sexual Violence. The Office will also provide education and training to Members of the College Community with respect to how to respond to Disclosures of Sexual Violence and how to support Complainants.
11. The College provides Sexual Violence education and prevention education for all Members of the College Community, including training on this Policy and awareness programs about Sexual Violence and personal safety.

SECTION IV: PRINCIPLES RESPECTING PROCESS

12. A person who has made a Disclosure and/or a Report of Sexual Violence has autonomy in decision making, and in particular with respect to whom to Disclose, whether to Report, whether to pursue recourse to the criminal or civil justice systems, and whether to access support and accommodations as provided.
13. The College is committed to the provision of a fair process for all parties and one that respects due process and procedural fairness. We are committed to reducing barriers to Disclosure and Reporting of incidents of Sexual Violence. In that regard, Complainants will not be asked to repeat their accounts more than is necessary for the implementation of this Policy and the College process will appropriately accommodate the needs of Members of the College Community who are affected by Sexual Violence.
14. The College will not tolerate any retaliation, through any means including through social or other electronic media, against anyone who discloses or Reports an incident of Sexual Violence, or who participates in a College process that is addressing allegations of Sexual Violence against a Member of the College Community.
15. Students who disclose their experience of sexual violence through reporting an incident of, making a complaint about, or accessing supports and services for sexual violence, will not be asked irrelevant questions during the investigation process by the college’s staff or investigators, including irrelevant questions relating to the student’s sexual expression or past sexual history.
16. Confidential counselling and support will be made available as quickly as practicable and at no cost to any Member of the College Community who experiences an incident of Sexual Violence. We will respond to Disclosures and/or Reports of Sexual Violence fairly and expeditiously.

SECTION V: CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY

The College will treat Disclosures and Reports of an incident of Sexual Violence in a confidential manner and in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The College will limit sharing of information to those within the College who need to know the information for the purposes of implementing this Policy, including providing accommodation, interim conditions and interim measures, and the investigation and decision-making processes; and taking corrective action resulting from those processes. For example, where a Complainant wishes to make a Report, fairness to the Respondent will require disclosure of the Complainant’s identity and the material allegations being made. Confidentiality cannot be maintained where information needs to be disclosed in order to address a risk to the health and safety of Members of the College Community or where the College is obliged by law to disclose the information. For example, confidentiality cannot be maintained where:

1. an individual is at risk of imminent and serious harm to themselves or others;
2. Members of the College Community may be at risk of harm; and/or
3. reporting or investigation is required by law (for example, but not limited to, an incident involving a minor, or obligations related to occupational health and safety or to human rights legislation).

SECTION VI: ACCESSING THE POLICY: DISCLOSURE AND REPORTING

17. Disclosure and Reporting are separate actions that the Complainant can choose to take. The Office offers confidential support and services to those who have experienced Sexual Violence.
18. Disclosure is the sharing of information by an individual with a Member of the College Community regarding an incident of Sexual Violence experienced by that individual.
19. Reporting is the sharing of information by an individual with a designated Member of the College Community regarding an incident of Sexual Violence experienced by that individual, with the intention of initiating one of the processes set out in this Policy, which could result in a disciplinary action being taken against the Member of the College Community alleged to have committed Sexual Violence. The Office receives and also manages Sexual Violence Reporting.
20. A Member of the College Community who witnesses an incident of Sexual Violence affecting another Member of the College Community should contact the Office. The College recognizes that an individual who has experienced an incident of Sexual Violence may require time and reflection before making the decision as to whether or not they wish to make a Disclosure or a Report of the incident. Notwithstanding those considerations, individuals who have experienced an incident of Sexual Violence are encouraged to make a Disclosure and/or Report as soon as they are able to do so, recognizing that the passage of time may affect the College’s ability to address the issues raised by a Disclosure or a Report.

SECTION VII: DISCLOSURE

21. A Disclosure does not result in a Report being made and does not initiate a process to address the incident of Sexual Violence. The decision to Disclose and the decision to Report are separate decisions. A Disclosure can be made to any Member of the College Community. A Disclosure may relate to a Respondent who is or is not a Member of the College Community. The Office is the first point of contact for a Member of the College Community affected by an incident of Sexual Violence to obtain academic, employment, or other accommodations and services. A Member of the College Community who receives a Disclosure should inform the Complainant about this Policy and direct them to the Office.
22. The College recognizes that such Disclosures are often shared in confidence, that the Complainant may have an expectation of confidentiality, and that in many cases confidentiality is essential in order for Complainants to come forward. The person to whom the Disclosure is made may consult with the Office for advice but except as directed by the Complainant or as indicated by the provisions in the “Confidentiality and Privacy” section of this Policy, is expected to hold such information in confidence.
23. Members of the College Community outside of the Office who receive a Disclosure of an incident of Sexual Violence and who receive the Complainant’s permission to do so can provide to the Office the name and contact information of the person who made the Disclosure and the date of the Disclosure to them for follow-up support and services.
24. The College respects a Complainant’s right to choose whether and how to pursue action related to an incident of Sexual Violence, subject to the provisions set out in the “Confidentiality and Privacy” section of this Policy.

25. The College will make support and services, including counselling, access or referrals to medical services, and academic and other accommodations, available to Members of the College Community who Disclose having been affected by an incident of Sexual Violence. Support services will also be made available to Members of the College Community who are Respondents.
26. Persons affected by an incident of Sexual Violence should contact the Office to obtain such support and services. A Complainant is not required to make a Report about an incident of Sexual Violence in order to obtain the support and services or accommodations referred to in this Policy.

These staff members can provide guidance and support to a Complainant through the process of Disclosure and/or Reporting.

However, in the event of such allegations, the College will provide support to Complainants who are Members of the College Community and may be able to take measures such as restricting access to campus by the person against whom allegations are made.
30. In an emergency, 911 should be the first point of contact.
31. A Complainant is not precluded from reporting an Incident of Sexual Violence to municipal police services if they have reported the incident to the College. A Complainant is not precluded from reporting an incident of Sexual Violence to the College if they have reported the incident to municipal police services. A Complainant may choose to Report to one or the other, to neither or to both.
32. Once a Complainant has made a report of an incident of Sexual Violence to the Office, the Complainant has initiated the College’s reporting process. The intention of this Policy is for the reporting process and each of its steps to be completed as expeditiously as practicable.
33. Both the Complainant and the Respondent have the right to be accompanied by a support person and/or legal representative at any point during the reporting process and subsequent processes under this Policy. The support person and/or legal representative, whether or not Members of the College Community, are expected to adhere to the provisions outlined in the “Confidentiality and Privacy” section of this Policy.
