SVSPO Advisory Panel
The intention of establishing an Advisory Panel is to act as a resource to the Sexual Violence Support & Prevention Office (SVSPO) composed of experts who have knowledge and experience in reducing, preventing, and responding to sexualized violence on campus and in communities (section 5.2.13 of the Sexualized Violence Policy GP 44).
The primary purpose of the Advisory Panel is:
- To act as an advisory resource for the SVSPO
- To review and comment on the Sexualized Violence Policy Annual Report
- To act as an advisory resource for the regularly reviewed Sexualized Violence Policy, which takes place every 3 years
- To provide input on approaches to support, prevention, awareness raising, education, policy, and procedures.
The SVSPO Advisory Panel is chaired by the Director of the SVSPO or their delgate and will be composed of faculty, staff, and undergraduate and graduate students. Student positions will be appointed for a one-year term, and staff and faculty will be appointed for a two-year term with the ability to renew. The Advisory Panel will meet once a term and at the call of the Chair.
Goals
- To share information and resources that promote an understanding that supports a university that embraces a culture of care, consent, and respect.
- To provide knowledge and experience that help reduce, prevent, and respond to sexualized violence on campus and in communities.
- To review and make recommendations for the revision of SFU’s Sexualized Violence Policy, GP 44.
- To make recommendations on programming and support services and other measures related to addressing and responding to sexualized violence.
- To review and comment on the Sexualized Violence Policy Annual Report.
