Incident Reporting

Starting the process

You can reach out to discuss your complaints and explore your options for proceeding, without moving forward with a formal report, with the Student Resource Coordinator with Counselling and Wellness.

The Student Resource Coordinator here to listen within a confidential conversation until you determine that you want to take formal action. During your meetings with the Student Resource Coordinator, you can expect to:

  • lead the process and decide what you want to share
  • review informal channels to seek resolution, such engaging in a conversation or receiving an apology
  • receive information on university policies and procedures
  • learn how to make third party and anonymous complaints, and formal reports
  • learn about supports and resources you can access

If you choose to take formal action, the Student Resource Coordinator is available to provide support and accompany you through the process.

Proceeding with a formal report

When informal resolution is not possible or appropriate, you can report situations where a member of the ECU community may have engaged in some form of misconduct.

These incidents can be reported by contacting Sue Dorey, Program Manager, Violence Reduction + Incident Response, or by emailing the Threat Assessment Team (TAT). Your email will be reviewed and you will receive a response within three business days.

Each incident involves a unique set of circumstances. It is important that we learn the details so that we can best support you and recommend an appropriate course of action. Please be as detailed as possible when describing the incident, and include:

  • The time and date it occurred
  • The name(s) of the person(s) involved
  • If anyone else witnessed the incident
  • Whether you have reported it to anyone else
  • The best way to contact you, and the best time to reach you
A Note on Confidentiality:

While discretion will be exercised to the maximum degree possible in the course of an investigation, individuals must be informed of the details of complaints against them. Complainants and respondents must be given the opportunity to present evidence in support of their positions.

Report an incident

Emotional and psychological support and counselling

Witnessing or experiencing an incident of harm or violence can be acutely distressing and traumatic.

Counselling services are available to provide emotional and psychological support and counselling. The counsellors are trained in trauma-informed care, critical incident stress debriefing and trauma interventions.
