Disclosing is when someone shares that they've experienced sexualized violence with a person they trust, such as a friend, counselor, or staff member. Disclosure is about seeking support, not necessarily starting a formal process.
Reporting is when someone formally notifies an authority, like the university or the police, about an incident of sexualized violence. Reporting starts and official process that may involve an investigation or action.
Read UFV’s Prevention, Education, and Response to Sexualized Violence - Policy 236 for more information on its scope.
