What can I report to the SRRO?

The SRRO addresses student behaviour that conflicts with UFV community values, specifically under Policy 204. To determine if you should submit a report, consider the following questions:

  1. Was discrimination, bullying, or harassment involved?
    1. Policy 18 - Discrimination, Bullying and Harassment Prevention covers behaviours related to discrimination, bullying, or harassment. See Policy 18 for definitions related to this.
  2. Did the incident involve disruptive behaviour?
    1. Policy 204 -Safe Student Learning Community outlines the standards for maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment. See here for a list of prohibited behaviours.
  3. Did any form of sexualized violence occur?
    1. Policy 236 – Prevention, Education and Response to Sexualized Violence addresses the prevention of sexualized violence and provides examples of behaviours that violate this standard. See Policy 236 for a definition of sexualized violence.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we encourage you to Report the Incident.
