BACSAC 2010: First Complaint and Responding to Disclosures of Sexual Assault
Exit this survey
 

1. BACSAC Meeting: Registration

 
Training with Suffolk County DA’s office on the First Complaint Doctrine and responding appropriately to disclosures of sexual assault.

The new First Complaint Doctrine allows only the first person who hears a disclosure of sexual assault to present that information in a criminal case. Many staff members of colleges and universities are wondering how to train RA’s and other staff members who are likely to be the first people that students tell about an assault. At this meeting, we will present ways to document the disclosure while still respecting the confidentiality of survivors.

Sponsored by BARCC (Boston Area Rape Crisis Center) and the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.
Co-sponsored by Northeastern University:
Office of Prevention & Education at Northeastern O.P.E.N. and the Campus Center on Violence Against Women.


Presenters:

Holly Broadbent, Assistance District Attorney, Chief of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Units, Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office

Peggy Barrett, Director of Community Awareness and Prevention Services, BARCC

Meg Bossong, Coordinator of Community Awareness and Outreach, BARCC
