Information for Parents and Legal Representatives

We understand that parents and legal representatives may have questions or concerns when a student is involved in a Sexual Violence reporting process. To ensure your inquiry is directed to the right place:

  • If you are the parent or legal representative of a student who is the Respondent (the individual alleged to have caused harm): Please contact the Director of Student Life for information or guidance.
  • If you are the parent or legal representative of a student who is the Reporting Party or a Witness in the process: Please contact the Director of Health, Counselling and Accessible Learning for information or guidance on process questions or available supports.

Our goal is to ensure that all questions are addressed with care and directed to the appropriate support resource.
