You do not give up control of your story. With the exception of cases where the misconduct involves someone under the age of 16, your story is yours and MCEC will do all it can to maintain your control of it at all times. Your story would be shared with others in a highly confidential manner if you decide to proceed with a formal complaint. You can discuss concerns about confidentiality and the reporting process with the Response Person. Your willingness and courage to share your story may prevent others from being victims of sexual misconduct.
