The UBC Investigations Office is committed to ensuring that investigations into sexual violence, discrimination and harassment are guided by the principles of procedural fairness, confidentiality, respect and a trauma-informed approach. We investigate complaints under Policy SC17 (formerly Policy 131 – Sexual Assault & Other Sexual Misconduct) and Policy SC7 (formerly Policy 3 – Discrimination & Harassment).

We are:

Impartial: The UBC Investigations Office is a neutral office committed to ensuring that everyone’s rights are respected. We do not advocate for the complainant or the respondent.
Trauma-Informed: With UBC Investigations Office investigators, you can expect conversation – not interrogation. Evidence is assessed and findings of fact are made with knowledge of the impact that trauma has on memory and presentation.

Have you experienced sexual assault or other forms of sexual violence, and you just want to talk? Visit your local SVPRO website for confidential options.
