Have you ever come into a new job role or maybe brought on in the middle of a project, only to discover there is no historical context or direction as to how to do the job or finish the project?
In the case of a SART Coordinator, having a succession process in place can help avoid uncertainty and help the team keep forward momentum with minimal interruptions as a new SART Coordinator transitions in.

Developing an efficient onboarding process for new members of your Sexual Assault Response Team can help ensure that new team members

This resource supplements the Ten-Factor Framework Report and can help provide SARTs guidance for implementing best practices when increasing awareness of the prevalence of sexual assault in the LGBTQIA+ community and to address inconsistencies in response to LGBTQIA+ victims/survivors.

Online survey tools can be used for a wide range of purposes, including online forms, satisfaction surveys, event registration, and more. Programs must use these tools with caution and careful planning if survivors are going to fill out the forms, surveys, or registration data.

Este recurso explica los pasos que los sobrevivientes o los proveedores de servicios para víctimas pueden tomar para verificar si los dispositivos de los sobrevivientes pueden haber sido “rooted” o “jailbroken”.

This resource explains steps that survivors or victim service providers can take to check whether survivors’ devices may have been rooted or jailbroken.

In this talk, we will discuss how abusers use rooting and jailbreaking to compromise survivors’ devices. When a phone is jailbroken or rooted, it gives up the phone’s security and causes the potential for shortened battery life, crashes, and freezes. Jailbreaking and rooting can leave a survivor with limited control over system updates, anti-malware protection, and can facilitate an abuser installing unauthorized apps, such as stalkerware, which allows the abuser to monitor the survivor’s device. It is important that survivors know and understands how these tactics of tech misuse can impact their devices and also learn how they can check their devices for this type of tech misuse.

A series of strategies to consider when working with older victims.

This Guide is for victim advocates working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals who may be experiencing stalking. Other service providers, individuals experiencing stalking, and friends/family of people experiencing stalking may also find it useful in supporting victims of stalking. It provides basic information about the dynamics of stalking and safety planning, co-occurring crimes, specific tactics used against LGBTQ+ individuals, safety planning strategies that support LGBTQ+ stalking victims, and issues to be aware of when supporting LGBTQ+ victims.

Stalking impacts people of all ages, including older adults. While research specific to stalking among older adults is limited, it’s clear that this crime is not limited to younger victims — more than a million people over the age of 50 are stalked each year. Because multiple forms of abuse in later life often co-occur and intersect, it is important to identify and address the full scope of a survivor’s experience — including stalking behaviors that often accompany other abuse.
