RESOURCE MATERIALS
We are continuing to develop educational materials that correspond with our training programs but that can also be used for general information purposes.
During the 2003 project, we focused on innovative ways to distribute and circulate sexual assault legal education resources to a wider audience of service providers across Nova Scotia. We developed four training resource manuals that enable service providers to access information and tools to assist them with establishing policies, protocols, procedures, and standards of practice to govern how they respond to victims of sexual assault. The training/resource manuals focus on the following four areas of sexual assault and the law:
1. Sexual Assault Awareness and Response Training for First Responders.
2. The Medical and Reporting Process After Sexual Assault
3. Confidentiality and Record Keeping Issues: Best Practices
4. Secondary Wounding and the Legal System
We are in the process of having these manuals added to this website. Check back soon as it is currently our top priority and development of these pages for the internet has already begun.
Please contact Avalon Centre for a resource list and order form.
