The Office of Compliance now offers the Spring 2018 Guide to Creating and Maintaining a Safe Learning and Work Environment at UW–Madison: Responsibilities, Resources, and Reporting Requirements. The guide provides UW–Madison faculty, staff, and students with information on how to report and respond if you experience, witness, or become aware of criminal behavior including sexual assault, sexual violence, and child abuse or neglect; or behavior including sexual harassment and other forms of discriminatory behavior. Policy information is included on expectations regarding consensual relationships between employees and students or employees with other employees with whom there is or could be an instructional, supervisory, or evaluative relationship. Training information and a list of resources are also included. The guide is available in English, Chinese, Hmong, Spanish, and Tibetan, and can be found online at compliance.wisc.edu/safe-learning-work-guide.
