Title IX Investigator Training
Conducting Fair, Equitable, and Trauma-Informed Investigations
The Investigator Training provides a detailed overview of best practices for investigating and adjudicating reports of sexual harassment and sexual and interpersonal violence. Our facilitators utilize their first-hand knowledge to guide participants in discussion.
This interactive training addresses the practical application of trauma-informed principles when conducting fair, neutral, and thorough investigations. Participants learn tools and strategies to assist in effectively and efficiently executing the responsibilities required of an Investigator. Participants also learn how to develop and use checklists and templates, as well as best practices for communication and record keeping. Though the training a higher education emphasis, K-12 practitioners will find it relevant and applicable to their work.
This course serves as a part-one for investigators charged with fact-finding and analysis. To access our training for investigators on analysis, click here
