When Protective Services has received a report of sexual violence, the Reporting Person, the Accused Person, and anyone else involved in the incident will be offered appropriate support (in those cases where this has not already happened).

• Protective Services will ensure that medical attention is offered.
• Protective Services will ensure that the appropriate university personnel are mobilized to provide support including the Student Affairs and Outreach (when either the Reporting Person or the Accused Person is a student)
• All parties will be given comprehensive information about the university’s policy and procedures that apply to the situation and the associated steps or actions that can be taken including information about making a formal complaint.

Safety Assessment, Emergency Notification, and Campus Notification: Protective Services will conduct an initial assessment, including taking the steps necessary to ensure a safe environment for every individual involved in the incident being reported and other members of the campus community.

• Emergency Notification: In the event of an immediate imminent threat to the campus community, an Emergency Notification may be activated.
• Campus Notification: When not deemed an immediate imminent threat, it may still be necessary for the university to notify the wider campus (either in Saskatoon or at other U of S campus locations, or both) that sexual assault or sexual misconduct has taken place.

In making decisions about campus notification, consideration is given:

• The level of risk surrounding the event (e.g., the likelihood of further harm to members of the campus community)
• The wishes of the person who was reported to have been sexually assaulted.
• The opportunity to educate and build awareness within the campus community.
• When the Saskatoon Police Service is involved in a matter, the university must also give consideration to the obligation that campus notification does not interfere with an on-going criminal investigation.

This notification may include the following information

• Nature of the incident
• Date and time
• Place of the incident
• Description of the individual who has been accused of committing sexual assault or sexual misconduct.

Interim measures: The university may impose interim measures as may be appropriate for the individuals involved in the reported incident of sexual violence and for the larger campus community. Notably, interim measures are not intended to be punitive but are intended to provide a safe environment for all parties pending a determination of the allegations. Interim measures may include, but are not limited to:

• Separation of academic and living situations between the Reporting Person and Accused Person (in the case of student involvement);
• Separation of workplace situations (in the case of employees);
• Temporary suspension of the Accused Person (in the case of a student); or temporary modification of the Accused Persons academic program;
• Temporary suspension of the Accused Person or relocation of duties of the Accused Person (in the case of an employee)
• An order informing the Accused Person that they are prohibited from all or part of any campus of the University of Saskatchewan; and
• a no-contact order (i.e., an agreement, which is mutually undertaken by two or more parties, to refrain from contacting one another based on mutually specified conditions).
