The McGrath Response System™: Intake & Investigation Foundations Course thoroughly addresses the intake and investigation of Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Discrimination, and Bullying concerns and complaints.
The course provides everything administrators need to confidently take a complaint through its entire lifecycle (inquiry, full investigation and appeal/hearing).
Participants who successfully complete the Intake & Investigation Course receive a certificate of completion that they are compliant with Title IX regulations and are knowledgeable about the following:
- The role and responsibilities of school administrators and the site-level complaint manager
- Proactive approaches to warning signs and rumors
- How to track and respond to rumors and patterns of victimization
- How to conduct an environmental scan of the school population to identify multiple victims and witnesses
- How to conduct effective interviews
- A complete system of legally fit procedures, forms and analytical tools for investigation
- Sensitivity to and appropriate interaction with the alleged victims, perpetrators, witnesses, community members and media during an investigation
The McGrath Response System™ goes beyond compliance and provides the “how” of reporting, investigation, and record keeping including example cases, forms, and checklists. McGrath provides a consistent, easy-to-use system and when implemented correctly will shift the culture around sexual harassment and misconduct and encourage reporting.
