About this course
If someone at your organization says they’ve been sexually harassed or sexually assaulted, how should you investigate and establish the facts? These complaints can be uniquely challenging for internal investigators — but are more common than ever before. This hands-on, advanced-level training is a must for any frontline staff who may respond to and/or investigate such complaints. Internal investigators will leave confident and prepared.
While sexual harassment and sexual violence may impact individuals differently, there are some physical and emotional effects that are common. Impacts may begin following the first incident and continue for long after the harassment or violence has stopped.
It is important to note that the negative individual and organizational impacts of sexual harassment and sexual violence can be mitigated or aggravated by the organization’s response to the incident(s) and by the organizational culture.
Please note: The content provided in this course is the same as our “Conducting Sexual Harassment and Violence Investigations” course.
What you'll learn
- How to deal with difficult subject matter in investigations
- How to deal with vulnerable parties
- The legal framework relating to sexual harassment and sexual violence
- The psycho-social dynamics of sexual misconduct
- How to make credibility assessments in cases involving sexual misconduct
Participants will also have the opportunity to experience a role-play of an investigation. Through the use of actors and prepared fact-patterns, we simulate two actual investigations, including conducting interviews with the complainant, respondent and witnesses. This course allows participants to not only understand the fundamentals of both a sexual harassment and a sexual violence investigation, but also to experience the investigations first-hand, with participants playing the role of investigator.

Testimonials
Participating in the sexual misconduct investigation training has been a transformative experience for me professionally. One of the key learnings was the importance of planning questions ahead of time, which has allowed me to conduct interviews more effectively and systematically. The training also emphasized maintaining an empathetic yet neutral demeanour throughout the investigation process—a crucial skill for handling sensitive cases fairly and respectfully.
Furthermore, the emphasis on meticulous documentation has improved my ability to record and manage information accurately, ensuring a clear and transparent investigation process. The training gave me a deeper understanding of how to interpret the balance of probabilities based on evidence, which is a critical aspect of making informed decisions. Lastly, it deepened my comprehension of consent as a legal concept, an essential element in sexual misconduct cases. These skills have enhanced my ability to conduct thorough investigations and contributed significantly to fostering a safer, more respectful work environment

PREREQUISITES
Registrants for Conducting Sexual Misconduct Investigations must have attended Workplace Investigation Fundamentals before they can attend this session.
About this course
If someone at your organization says they’ve been sexually harassed or sexually assaulted, how should you investigate and establish the facts? These complaints can be uniquely challenging for internal investigators — but are more common than ever before. This hands-on, advanced-level training is a must for any frontline staff who may respond to and/or investigate such complaints. Internal investigators will leave confident and prepared.
While sexual harassment and sexual violence may impact individuals differently, there are some physical and emotional effects that are common. Impacts may begin following the first incident and continue for long after the harassment or violence has stopped.
It is important to note that the negative individual and organizational impacts of sexual harassment and sexual violence can be mitigated or aggravated by the organization’s response to the incident(s) and by the organizational culture.
Please note: The content provided in this course is the same as our “Conducting Sexual Harassment and Violence Investigations” course.
What you'll learn
- How to deal with difficult subject matter in investigations
- How to deal with vulnerable parties
- The legal framework relating to sexual harassment and sexual violence
- The psycho-social dynamics of sexual misconduct
- How to make credibility assessments in cases involving sexual misconduct
Participants will also have the opportunity to experience a role-play of an investigation. Through the use of actors and prepared fact-patterns, we simulate two actual investigations, including conducting interviews with the complainant, respondent and witnesses. This course allows participants to not only understand the fundamentals of both a sexual harassment and a sexual violence investigation, but also to experience the investigations first-hand, with participants playing the role of investigator.

Testimonials
Participating in the sexual misconduct investigation training has been a transformative experience for me professionally. One of the key learnings was the importance of planning questions ahead of time, which has allowed me to conduct interviews more effectively and systematically. The training also emphasized maintaining an empathetic yet neutral demeanour throughout the investigation process—a crucial skill for handling sensitive cases fairly and respectfully.
Furthermore, the emphasis on meticulous documentation has improved my ability to record and manage information accurately, ensuring a clear and transparent investigation process. The training gave me a deeper understanding of how to interpret the balance of probabilities based on evidence, which is a critical aspect of making informed decisions. Lastly, it deepened my comprehension of consent as a legal concept, an essential element in sexual misconduct cases. These skills have enhanced my ability to conduct thorough investigations and contributed significantly to fostering a safer, more respectful work environment
