Sexual Assault/Sexual Abuse Assistance Resources

Immediate & Confidential Assistance

When a complainant requests confidentiality, they are asking that:

  • information regarding the incident not be shared with Delta College.
  • Delta College does not complete an investigation.
  • no action be taken against the respondent.

Under certain circumstances Delta College must complete an investigation and take appropriate action to stop and prevent prohibited behaviors and provide remedies to the complainant and Delta College community. For example, if the respondent is a Delta College employee we may move forward with an investigation even if the complainant requests confidentiality.
