This Incident Report is designed to enable all members of the Concordia community to voluntarily report endangering behaviours that may raise concerns and incidents of misconduct at Concordia University of Edmonton. An incident, in this context, is an event that does not warrant immediate intervention. The members of the team are Andrew Sterne, 780 479 9311, Margie Schoepp 780 479 9226, Deena Martin 780 491 6872 and Carmen Arth 780 378 8459. Feel free to contact them if you need assistance. In the event of an emergency that requires immediate intervention, call 911, and then contact campus security at 780-479-8761 or ext. 5555 from an internal phone.

If an incident arises during non-business hours and there is an immediate need to asses and/or intervene - concerned parties are directed to contact Campus Security, who is available 24 hours a day, at 780-479-8761 or ext. 5555 from an office phone.

The Incident Report will provide a mechanism for responding to individual incidents and will reveal patterns of disruptive behaviour. To assist you in completing the Incident Report, please refer to the CUE BSIT Information and Procedures document, a comprehensive guide on the behaviours that may be of concern. The report provides a standardized method for recording observations of endangering behaviours and for alerting the CUE Behavioural Support and Intervention Team of potential concerns. Information provided in the Incident Report may also be considered in determining the appropriate course of action. The information you submit will be handled confidentially, with the purpose of assisting the individual.

Individuals are allowed to make anonymous reports, however, if a name is not provided it may hamper the team's ability to seek follow-up information that may be critical in determining an appropriate course of action.

How do I know if I should report?

Concordia's Behavioural Support and Intervention Team (BSIT) works to maintain a healthy and safe campus environment. The team's main function is to receive reports about individuals exhibiting endangering behaviours, to assemble information from across campus departments, and to determine appropriate responses.

Every individual in the Concordia community of students, faculty, and staff members shares a responsibility for observing and reporting endangering behaviours. You are doing the right thing in reporting your concerns, both to help the individual whose behaviour is problematic and to protect the safety of the campus. By alerting the appropriate campus representatives you are not making a determination but making it possible for the BSIT to intervene in order to assist the individual and protect the campus.
