Webinar #3: Addressing a maltreatment or discrimination concern

Presenter: Sarah Atkinson (Director of Investigations & Assessments)

Date: November 30, 2022 (English) and December 1, 2022 (French) @ 12:00pm (EST)

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.
