Safety, Non-Retaliation, and Support

Create a safe space for complainants, witnesses, and respondents to share information without fear of retaliation. Establish clear expectations for respectful conduct during the process.

Implement a robust non-retaliation policy and promptly address any retaliation. Provide support resources such as counseling, accommodations, or alternative arrangements as needed.

Communicate rights and processes clearly to all participants, reinforcing a culture that values fairness and protection from harm.
