Investigation Standards

Investigations are conducted impartially and promptly. Investigators gather relevant evidence, interview witnesses, and assess credibility with documented notes. The standard of proof is described as a reasonable belief based on the evidence, balancing fairness and sensitivity to all parties.

Documentation is thorough and objective, with a clear timeline, scope, and findings. While investigations are ongoing, retaliation against participants or witnesses is prohibited, and interim measures may be implemented to protect safety and well-being.
