We changed the name to information only reports – when reported to the police.   Typically the victim/survivor does provide their name but there is an agreement that they won’t go forward with an investigation at this time. 

 

Our campus one is still called anonymous and the option is for people to not provide their name.

We call our online report anonymous, but include the option for folks to include their name or the perpetrator's.

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
