Harassment Contact Person

Who is the Harassment Contact Person?

The Harassment Contact Person (HCP) is an essential resource available to provide support in cases of uncomfortable situations or harassment. They serve as a point of contact for individuals who may require assistance or guidance. HCPs are trained to mediate conflicts and offer advice when an individual faces harassment.
If you find yourself in need of someone to talk to, HCPs are here to listen and provide a supportive environment. In more serious situations, HCPs can help you identify and connect with the appropriate individuals.
It's important to note that all conversations with HCPs are confidential, and they have no authority to punish someone. Their primary role is to provide support, guidance, and ensure the well-being of those seeking assistance.
