In keeping with Bad Dog's zero tolerance harassment & discrimination policy, every effort is made to ensure these reports are fully anonymous. Filed reports are kept confidential and only seen by the Artistic Director and the Board of Directors.  

Reports will be handled on a case by case basis, often but not necessarily beginning with a conversation between the complainant and a two person panel made up of one board member and one staff member. The complainant will be given an opportunity to choose between a selection of staff and board members. It is our hope to make this process as comfortable and unbiased as possible as we navigate the delicate nature of our of our community/work environment and the uniqueness of each situation. The conversation will help inform any future action and will take into account the complainant's wishes as well as the best practises for our company.

We will maintain the anonymity of those making reports and share pertinent information with our staff and community as each situation dictates - much like we have in the above message. Please note, should you choose not to identify yourself during the reporting of the incident we will not be able to contact you, and may not be able to enforce the policy to the fullest extent. It is also important to note that while all reports made will be taken seriously and paid due diligence to the best of our ability, it is impossible for us to share our response and/or any resulting actions taken when reports are made without sharing any contact information.

We would also like to share this resource list (created by Generator) of 24-hour crisis lines, shelters, organizations, movements, etc. that relate to harassment in the workplace, sexual harassment, violence against women and more. The resources are mainly Toronto-centric and Canadian focused. https://artistproducerresource.ca/tiki-index.php?page=Harassment
