In the Not Alone report, the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault charged the National Center for Campus Public Safety (NCCPS) to develop a Trauma-Informed Sexual Assault Investigation and Adjudication curriculum for campus officials. To meet this mandate, we have worked with nationally recognized subject matter experts in the fields of sexual and gender-based violence investigations, Title IX, the Clery Act, victim's advocacy, student conduct, and psychology to develop and deliver this groundbreaking curriculum.
After rigorous pilot programming and fine-tuning, the NCCPS is pleased to announce its first public offerings of this critical curriculum. Leading the institute is the Center’s core faculty of nine subject matter experts from around the country, and 26 individually selected instructors. Please join our mailing list and sign up for our electronic publication, the Weekly Snapshot, to be among the first to get details about newly added institute dates and locations!
