Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Juliette Grimmett <>]

Hello colleagues -

I am working with Culture of Respect to help them develop some best practice guides for college campuses.  We are working through our recommendations around reporting options for survivors, and I am wondering if folks would be willing to share their thoughts around the difference (or lack of difference) between filing an anonymous report versus a blind report.  Do you use these terms interchangeably?  Do you define them differently and if so, in what ways?  

I always understood them to be different, that an anonymous report meant both the survivor and perpetrator(s) were unnamed and a blind report meant the survivor was still unnamed but the perpetrator(s) were identified.  However I am learning that for some campus and community police, an anonymous report is a blind report.

Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
