A disclosure is different than a report. A disclosure is when you share your story with anyone that you feel comfortable with. This can include, for example: friends, family, co-workers, a trusted instructor, dean, faculty member, counsellor, doctor, and many others.

A report refers to an official incident report and more formal process, made to law enforcement, RRC Polytech’s Resource and Resolution Advisor or to College departments, including Counselling, Safety and Health Services, or Human Resources.

Investigations undertaken in response to a disclosure or report may lead to discipline in accordance with College Policy, the Collective Agreement and applicable law. Discipline may include expulsion or termination of employment.
