Can I file a report as a third party and/or confidentially?
Yes. Third-party* and/or confidential** reports may be investigated where sufficient evidence existsÌýand where such an investigation would not violate procedural fairness. Third-party and/or confidential reports cannot go to mediation.ÌýAn individual identified as the person who directly experienced harassment and/or discrimination in aÌýthird-party orÌýconfidential report has the right to be informed of an investigation triggered by such a report and can choose whether or not to participate in the process.Ìý
In an investigation process, please note that third-party and/or confidential reporters will not receive the investigation report at the end of the investigation or information about the resolution of the complaint.Ìý
*A third-party report is a report made by someone other than the person alleged to have experienced harassment and/or discrimination.
**ÌýA confidential report is a report made by a person whose identity is known only to the OMR and is not disclosed to the Assessor, the Respondent, or any other person.Ìý
