What happens if an incident is reported as unrestricted?

When an incident is reported as unrestricted, it signifies that the victim has chosen to move forward with the reporting process. This means that the chain of command becomes informed about the situation, and as a result, an official investigation is initiated. The unrestricted reporting option is designed to create an environment where victims can seek justice and support, allowing for appropriate actions to be taken to address the issue.

Victims in these cases are not constrained to only receiving medical assistance; they have access to a full range of support services, including legal advice, counseling, and advocacy. Additionally, confidentiality is limited because the goal is to ensure that proper actions are taken against the alleged perpetrator, alongside providing the victim with the necessary resources to cope with the incident. This approach is crucial for fostering accountability and ensuring a thorough examination of the circumstances surrounding the reported incident.
