This session will provide an overview of:
- what to do when something either happens to you, is witnessed by you or is reported/disclosed to
you; - the UCCMS Reporting Obligations and the legal duty to report; and
- the difference between a “report” and “complaint” for purposes of OSIC intake.
It will highlight typical questions of jurisdiction that determine whether a possible complaint/report would
proceed under the OSIC versus another independent third party (ITP). Moreover, if it doesn’t proceed
under the OSIC, information will be provided about the OSIC’s approach to referring a matter outside its
jurisdiction. Finally, the session will touch on principles/best practices in addressing a maltreatment or
discrimination concern.
