During this webinar, we cover PREA Standard 115.65 Coordinated response. The purpose of this standard is:
- To ensure that every person in the facility who has the responsibility for responding to an incident of sexual abuse, including first responders, medical and mental health providers, investigators, and facility leadership, understands precisely what their roles are and how their roles interact with others’ so that the facility achieves an effective, coordinated response to every incident of sexual abuse.
- To ensure the facility has developed a written plan requiring that the actions of all initial responders are coordinated so that their interventions following an incident of sexual abuse are organized, timely, and deliberately and systematically focused on the needs of the victim.
- To enable staff to protect the safety and security of the victim as well as of the facility, while ensuring that physical evidence is preserved, perpetrators are identified and secured, and timely investigation of the incident is begun.
We encourage you to invite your colleagues to join the discussion and use it as an opportunity for ongoing education. Our featured presenters are Maren Arbach, Senior Program Specialist (PRC) and Melissa Rodriguez, Senior Program Associate (PRC).
