To best identify how vulnerable your company or community is to harassment and assault, an expert internal audit is essential.

First, we’ll speak to management and team members to assess pain and weak points. Comprehensive interviews will help us identify red flags. We’ll assess if there are warning signs that an incident might occur, the source of a potential incident, or if someone(s) is being assessed as the potential target(s) of an incident(s). Then, we can work with you to determine what the next steps will be, which may include a prevention plan, education and/or training for your management or team, and what a reporting system might look like.

One in three women are sexually harassed, and one in five are sexually assaulted. The numbers are horrifically high, and the problem absolutely can be prevented.

Having policies, procedures, and education for teams and management will empower your company in this fight.

We’ll tailor an effective reporting system to the size, needs, and budget of your company. We’ll strategize with you on direct reporting. Our reporting systems are designed to increase reporting through increased trust and safety, and decreasing fear of retaliation and re-traumatization.

Lastly, we facilitate long-term change by recalibrating company culture for greater inclusivity.

Most employees speak of their employer’s harassment trainings with frustration and contempt.

Data shows that the standard training creates a backlash that is counterintuitive to preventing harassment and assault.

What works? Team members need to feel included, heard, and empowered. To do this, we listen to individual members with empathy. We’ll work with your team through pain points, correct misassumptions and mistaken belief in rape myths, and work through apathy. Lastly, we’ll train and educate on the dynamics of assault/harassment, how to recognize red flags, and we’ll empower your team to become upstanders.

When an incident is reported, your first step will be a third party investigation. Unlike most investigators, we’re usually able to find past incidents, thus increasing internal support.

How we manage and/or mediate the incident, and prevent secondary trauma to your company/community, and most importantly, to the survivor will vary based on the specifics.

Your company/community should heal and transform. Once the situation is resolved, we’ll institute tools and systems to dramatically decrease the likelihood of future incidents.

Any solution or process around sexual misconduct should work toward preventing future incidents. We believe that the workplace/community and survivor should be made as right as possible.

Post-incident, your company/community may work with attorneys to prevent legal liability.

This is crucial, and yet, the court of public opinion has become an increasingly more important factor in incidents of sexual harassment and assault. Focusing solely on attorneys and legal liability can result harming your reputation, and in causing inadvertent harm to the survivor and your company/community.

We understand how to address both of these courts*. We can interface with your law firm/attorneys, and will work with your law firm/attorney to help you navigate both.

*we do not provide legal representation or legal advice

Repeatedly, survivors tell us (and other advocates) that processes were not transparent, and the reaction of their community or employer caused distress, which in turn escalates an already traumatizing situation. We prevent that ongoing/secondary trauma. We listen to and emotionally support survivors through their trauma.

Survivors tell us that they do not want the party that assaulted or harassed them to repeat. We have data/analytics tools aimed at preventing sexual assault/harassment, which we provide to communities and employers.

Before starting Clear Safe, we advocated for and supported victims for over 6 years. We had no negative feedback for our support - a remarkable record as victims are often traumatized and feel inadequately supported.
