What is Report + Support?

Report + Support is an online tool developed by Culture Shift where staff and students can report issues of (input) anonymously or via contacting an advisor to discuss. Report + Support is also home to information about internal and external support, policies and procedures and (campaign).

What happens when someone makes an anonymous report?
(Insert infographic if one has been developed) 

The report will be viewed by one of the administrators see below for a list of administrators. 

The administrators will first review the report to identify any risks that relate to duty of care. If no immediate risk is identified, no further, direct action will be taken. If any identifiable information is provided, the administrator will then remove the identifiable information.

The information kept will be for trend analysis and inform proactive prevention. 

What is the difference between anonymous and advisor reports? 

(Organisation) does not know who has made an anonymous report, and therefore cannot reach out and provide support. Whereas if someone wants to receive support or consider informal or formal options to address a concern, they would make a named report and speak to an advisor. 

What happens when someone wants to contact an advisor?

An advisor may be one (x roles), which may include. The administrators (see below), assign a case to the requested advisor. Each of the advisors are provided with a login and can only access cases that are assigned to them.

The advisor receives an email notification that a case has been assigned to them – no identifiable information is provided within this email alert. The advisor then logs into Report + Support to access information provided using their personal login details. The advisor then makes contact with the person who has made the report and they arrange a meeting to discuss the report. 

What action can you take from anonymous reports?

Information provided within anonymous reports will be used as statistical data to understand what is happening and to inform proactive prevention work. The (roles or teams) will work with areas identified to address any concerning trends. 

How will (organisation) manage malicious complaints?

If a report is found to be malicious or vexatious, such reports will be addressed under existing student and staff procedures.

How secure is the data and information sent through the system?
