Once a report is received, an intake reviewer acknowledges receipt and explains the next steps. The intake focuses on capturing essential facts while protecting confidentiality.
Intake involves collecting basic information, confirming who needs to know about the case, and setting expectations for timelines. Reporters are informed about non retaliation protections and data handling practices.
