此事件报告表用于报告所有(1)歧视和歧视性骚扰事件, (2) bias and/or hate crime, (3) retaliation, (4) sexual harassment and/or violence.
This is not a 911 or Emergency 服务. Contact 911 if you feel this matter requires immediate response.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the current reporting systems/tools that are being replaced by the Incident Report Form (IRF)?
The IRF will be taking the place of all previous electronic reporting methods including ReportIt! and the Title IX incidents reporting link. This new technology will provide a more user-friendly reporting platform and more secure means of collecting, 存储, and sharing information. In addition, the IRF will allow for a streamlined, expedited and accurate response to reports.
What incidents can be reported using the IRF?
This IRF is to be used for the reporting of all incidents of (1) discrimination and discriminatory harassment, (2) bias and/or hate crime, (3) retaliation, and (4) sexual harassment and/or violence that involves any member of the UNH community.
Who can submit a report?
Anyone can make a report regarding an incident that involves the UNH community, regardless of their affiliation with UNH.
I am a Mandatory Reporter, can I use the IRF to report incidents?
是的. The IRF should be used to report all matters of sexual harassment and violence you know, 或怀疑, may have impacted a member of the community. IRF将取代第九条事件报告链接，以履行您的强制性报告责任. Mandatory reporters may NOT submit anonymously.
Can I submit a report on a mobile device?
是的. The IRF is compatible with all desktop and mobile devices.
Can I still file a report if I do not have access to the Internet?
是的. If you are unable to access the IRF you have the option to call the 公民权利 & Equity Office (CREO) directly at 603-862-2930 (or Relay NH line at 7-1-1) to report your concerns. You can still report anonymously via telephone call. You will just need to give the 公民权利 & Equity Office the information regarding the incident.
If I observe a concerning incident but am unsure if it rises to the level of a policy violation, should I report?
When in doubt, submit a report. 民权与平等办公室欢迎任何有关事件的信息，以便我们的团队确定最佳反应. 即使有关事件的信息可能不会上升到违反政策的程度，但仍然可以为我们校园周围的气候问题提供有价值的见解，这些问题可以在更广泛的范围内解决，或者保存在文件中，以便交叉参考未来的报告.
If I was told something happened but did not observe it personally, can I still complete a report?
是的. A report can be submitted by anyone with information, regardless of whether you witnessed the event personally or were not personally impacted by the event. Reports from bystanders are key in the effort to keep our community safe.
Can I report anonymously when using the IRF?
是的. If you wish to remain anonymous, the IRF allows you to submit a report without providing identifying information. 如果报告者匿名提交报告，学校无法确定报告者的姓名. 然而, IRF还包括一个后续功能，允许匿名报告者在提交报告后继续与分配给报告的案例管理员进行通信. IRF分配一个随机生成的12位数字“报告密钥”，该密钥允许报告者创建登录安全门户的密码. This portal will allow the submission of questions, answers and additional documentation, all while remaining anonymous.
What is the Follow-Up feature?
跟进功能是一个新选项，提交报告的人可以与民权与平等办公室团队保持联系，因为他们会回复您的查询状态并提供额外信息. 这允许访问一个门户网站，允许公民权利和平等办公室团队与报告方之间进行双向通信，以提出问题, provide additional details and upload attachments – all while remaining completely anonymous. When a report has been submitted, 系统将自动生成一个12位数字（您的报告密钥），并要求您创建密码. 从那里, 希望保持匿名的人士可返回IRF，并选择“跟进”选项卡，以他们的报告密钥和密码登录.
Follow-Up will allow you to further communicate regarding this incident, including:
- Submit additional questions/comments
- Respond to questions/comments
- Upload documents to this report
- Provide additional information
Where do these reports go?
The 公民权利 & 公平办公室负责接收和协调对通过IRF提交的所有报告的回应. The 公民权利 and Equity Office Director (或被任命者) will initially evaluate the nature of the report. 信息只会在严格必要的基础上与其他部门的员工共享，因为他们认为有必要适当地回应这些担忧. 在未事先通知报告方的情况下，报告中的信息不会与报告中披露的任何人共享.
What information will be shared with the impacted party identified in the report?
公民权利和公平办公室将使用IRF中提供的信息联系受影响的一方, inform them of resources for support at the university, explain the applicable university process for addressing the reported concern, and discuss their wishes regarding resolving the matter.
What information will be shared with the accused party identified in the report?
与被告方共享信息的情况取决于事实，并可能因所报告事件的性质和受影响方所表达的意愿而有所不同. 大学的目标是为受影响的一方提供支持和选择，以解决问题，同时平衡大学保护社区安全的义务，并遵守州和联邦法律. 重要的是要明白，IRF将直接发送到民权与平等办公室，并可能导致大学采取额外的行动来解决所报告的问题, which may include sharing information with the accused party. 然而, 在未采取合理步骤提前通知报告方的情况下，报告中的信息不会与报告中披露的任何人共享.
I am a student who wants to file a Title IX sexual harassment and/or sexual violence “Formal Complaint.” Can I use the IRF to do so?
通过IRF提交报告并不自动构成根据第九条提交正式投诉. 第九条协调员将与填写此表格(或在IRF中确定)的受影响方联系, 或被任命者, who will provide additional information related to their rights and options for making a Formal Complaint. 鼓励寻求正式投诉的学生与第九条协调员联系，以充分讨论他们的选择. Students who are not ready to contact the Title IX Coordinator are encouraged to seek assistance from privileged confidential support providers to discuss their options.
Can I edit or add to a report once it has been submitted?
是的. If you provide identifying information, 个案管理员将直接通过电话或跟进功能与您跟进，以便您提供额外或澄清信息. If you choose to remain anonymous, 您可以使用系统生成的12位报告密钥重新登录跟踪功能，以编辑或更新您的报告.
Can I submit other evidence along with the narrative of my report?
是的. The 公民权利 and Equity Office welcomes the submission of any documents, 笔记, 图片, text messages, videos and any other evidence along with the report. The IRF allows you to upload files up to 50MB per file (100MB overall) along with your report. If you wish to send documents exceeding this limit, please contact the 公民权利 and Equity Office by phone or through the Follow-Up feature for more options.
What happens if I lose my 12-digit Report Key or Password for the Follow-Up feature?
If you lose your 12-digit Report Key or Password, they cannot be recovered. Please be sure to record your Report Key and password in a safe place prior to closing out the IRF. 公民权利与平等办公室欢迎任何面临这种情况的人，如果你有任何担忧，可以联系并讨论你的报告.
Some of the information on the IRF is designated as “required” (♦), but I do not know the information or do not wish to provide it at this time, can I still submit a report?
是的. 标记为“必需”（♦）的字段可以填写任何响应，包括“我不知道”或“N/A”对于您不能填写的字段, or do not want to, provide information. The 公民权利 & 股权办公室团队鼓励你尽可能多地提供信息，这样才能得到更完整的回复. For Mandatory Reporters, all required fields must be completed if you have knowledge of the applicable information.
I’m unsure how to best categorize my Type of Issue/Concern, what should I do?
Clicking on each Issue/Concern type will bring up a short definition which will help guide your decision. If, after reading these definitions, you are still unsure, please choose the category that you feel may best describe your situation. There is no “right” answer. You will have the ability to go into greater detail about the incident in the “Incident Description” section. In addition, the 公民权利 & Equity Office team will review the reported incident regardless of your selection.
I am reporting a series of events that took place on different dates, what should I fill in for the “date of incident” section?
When reporting about incidents occurring on different dates, you can either type “various” in the “date of incident” field, or the date of the first event. The “Incident Description” section will allow for you to clearly identify the date of each incident.
My incident involves more than one impacted party, accused party, 或见证, can I add more than one?
是的. The “Impacted Person(s),“被告”和“证人或有额外信息的人”部分都允许最多10个条目，单击该部分右下角的“添加人员”按钮即可.
What details should be included in the “Incident Description” section?
Any information that you are aware of concerning the incident(s) is helpful. While other sections will allow you to identify parties, location, date, time, etc. 这部分是一个开放的文本框，它允许您深入了解有关所发生事件的任何信息的重要细节. 这将有助于使你在其他部分的答案更清晰，并提高民权与公平办公室团队尽可能有效地回应的能力.
What can I expect as a response to my report?
Once your report has been received it will be reviewed by the 公民权利 & Equity Office. If you provide identifying information, a member of the team will reach out to you directly by email and/or the Follow-Up feature. If you report anonymously, a member of the team will reach out via the anonymous Follow-Up feature.
