I. Background
The university has for some time been working to develop programs and initiatives that address and prevent sexual misconduct. To support this work, and in response to the recommendations of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Working Group, a Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Coordinator has been established to manage sexual assault prevention, education, and response services at Queen's. In their role, the coordinator will act as a central point of contact for Queen’s community members who have concerns related to sexual violence and will coordinate response, prevention and support protocols as well as lead the development of educational tools to increase awareness of sexual assault prevention strategies and resources.
To assist in the search process for this position, an advisory committee has been established to advise the Provost on the selection of a Sexual Violence Prevention Strategies and Response Coordinator.
Further work to implement the recommendations of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Working Group will continue to be overseen by the Implementation Team on Prevention and Response to Sexual Assault.
