SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE AWARENESS CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 FACILITATION GUIDE

GOALS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE (SAPR) AWARENESS TRAININGThe goals of the Navy’s SAPR Program are a Navy in which every Sailor knows what sexual assaultis, how it hurts our Navy, how to play a role in prevention, and how to report it, and a Navy in whichevery Sailor knows that if prevention fails, victims will be supported and offenders will be held appro-priately accountable.Major Takeaways:Everyone can contribute to the prevention of sexual assault through behaving responsibly, promotinga climate of dignity and respect, and intervening when necessary.Anyone who believes they are a victim of sexual assault is encouraged to contact their Sexual AssaultResponse and Prevention Victim Advocate (SAPR VA) to gain access to support and recoveryservices.Commands have an obligation to execute the SAPR policy consistently and fairly to promoteprevention, reporting, and resolution.This lesson explores ways to prevent sexual assault incidents and how Sailors should respond if anassault occurs.Specifically, the goals of this SAPR Awareness training are to:• Define what constitutes sexual assault.• Explain why sexual assaults are crimes.• Define the meaning of “consent.”• Explain offender accountability and Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) violations.• Explain the distinction between sexual harassment and sexual assault.• Explain restricted and unrestricted reporting options: • The differences of each option. • The effect of independent investigations on restricted reports. • Military Rules of Evidence 514 - Victim Advocate and victim confidant privilege.• Provide an awareness of the SAPR program (DoD and Service) and command personnel roles and responsibilities, including all available resources on and off base.• Identify prevention strategies and behaviors that may reduce sexual assault, including bystander intervention, risk reduction, and obtaining affirmative consent.• Describe process change to ensure that all sexual assault response services are gender- responsive, culturally competent, and recovery-oriented.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 2

• Describe different types of retaliation.• Describe expedited transfers and Military Protective Order (MPO) procedures.• Provide information to victims on how to go outside the chain of command to report the offense to NCIS, other law enforcement, other COs or an Inspector General when the alleged offender is the victim’s Commander or in the victim’s chain of command.• Describe document retention for sexual assault documents (DD Form 2910 and 2911), to include retention in investigative records.FACILITATING SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE AWARENESS TRAININGPrepare for Your ClassThis facilitation guide is designed to prepare facilitators to conduct General Military Training: SAPRAwareness. This lesson is designed to be command-delivered training for all Navy personnel. AllCommanders are charged with ensuring this training is delivered with the utmost quality and profes-sionalism.Contained within this guide are instructions for conducting the lesson training session, how to set upand present the SAPR Awareness lesson, and a set of questions to encourage discussions aboutsexual assault. The lesson focuses on identifying behaviors that are considered sexual assault, thedefinition of consent, the difference between sexual assault and sexual harassment, interventionstrategies, Navy and local resources, and command contacts.Note: Due to the sensitive nature of this topic, an alternative form of SAPR Awareness training shouldbe made available PRIOR to the training taking place for those who may be uncomfortable discussingthis subject in a group setting. This statement should be published in the command’s Plan of the Day/Plan of the Month or training plan.This lesson is composed of seven segments: Segment 1: Introduction; Segment 2: Continuum ofHarm; Segment 3: Retaliation; Segment 4: Sexual Assault Aftermath Scenario; Segment 5: SAPRProcess; Segment 6: Bystander Intervention; Segment 7: Resources.Segment 4 contains a video clip dramatizing the aftermath of a sexual assault situation.Success of this training rests entirely on the command’s commitment to delivering quality,professional training that engages Sailors in a frank and productive discussion about sexual assaultprevention and response.The estimated length of this training is 75 minutes. However, do not feel you must end the trainingat 75 minutes. Encourage productive discussion for as long as time is allowed. If time becomes anissue, devote less time to discussions on bystander intervention (BI) segments, since Bystander Inter-vention to the Fleet training is already circulating through the Fleet. • Lesson Videos: Total 5 minutes 3 • Scripted Instruction: 25 minutesCPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0

• Facilitated Discussion: 45 minutesFACILITATORSCommanding Officers shall choose facilitators for this training session who are dynamic, mature,possess good judgment, and have the ability to engage their Sailors. The success of this trainingdepends on prepared and respected facilitators who have the skill and talent to get Sailors to speakopenly and frankly about the topic. As a facilitator, you have a script and guidance for facilitating thelesson. (If possible, coordinate with Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs), SAPR VAs,and/or a unit SAPR VA (SAPR UVA) to provide the training or at least be present during the trainingsessions.)FORMAT OF THE FACILITATION GUIDEThis guide equips facilitators with thought-provoking questions about SAPR Awareness designed toengage Sailors in meaningful discussion.

During this preparation, check your sound, the lighting, and the focus of your projector.3 Do ensure that everyone in the room can hear the discussion; repeat questions and comments that may have been spoken too quietly for others to hear.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 5

3 Do be alert to statements that reveal misperceptions about the topic. Correct these statements. 3 Do refer to the video to emphasize speaking points; the video is a useful tool for providing examples from a shared point of reference. 6 Do not allow only a few participants to dominate the conversation. 6 Do not let the class stray off topic. Keep the conversation focused. 6 Do not attempt to guess if you do not know how to answer a question about statistics, resources, definitions, law, or policy. Offer to research the question and provide an answer later, and explain your plan for doing so. 6 Do not discuss your personal opinions about sexual assault, its causes, or the Navy’s system for prevention.TRAINING SETUPSchedule the training to be delivered at the department/division/work center levels where attendanceshould not exceed 30 Sailors. If the training group exceeds this size, the group should be dividedinto smaller groups, each with its own prepared facilitator for the discussion portion of the lesson. Topromote the most participation by all personnel, the training should be broken out by level of respon-sibility (i.e., E1-E5, E6-O3, O4 and above).EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTSAll training locations must have audiovisual equipment to play the video including: • Laptop or desktop computer • Projector (that can be connected to the computer) • Projection screen or surface • Speakers/audio system • Classroom in which lights can be dimmed or turned off for maximum visibilityCPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 6

FACILITATION GUIDESCREEN 1: CPPD-GMT: SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSEAWARENESS-1.0 SPLASH SCREEN Scriptä Welcome to the GMT Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Awareness lesson.ä I am (NAME of FACILITATOR). I am joined today by (NAMES OF SUPPORT PERSONNEL and CO-FACILITATORS). (SUPPORT PERSONNEL) is going to sit in on this class with us today, because he/she is one our unit’s best resources when it comes to this topic: Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Awareness.ä Before we begin, please turn all cell phones off. If you need to step out at any point, please do so quietly, but we expect you to return promptly.ä Sexual assault is a problem that we’ve heard a lot about. You may think you know all there is to know.ä We recognize that most of you do the right thing, help your shipmates when you can, and focus on the mission. However, sexual assault incidents remain a problem that harms Sailors, their families, and their missions.ä And that is why we are still talking about sexual assault and will continue to talk about it.ä As you watch the video clip and view the slides, think about language and behaviors associat- ed with sexual assault and prevention opportunities. Try to think of ways you might respond to situations to help reduce the risk of sexual assault in our Navy.ä It’s important that we talk frankly about sexual assault so we can tackle this problem head-on.ä We want everyone to participate in these conversations—but if you are a victim of sexual as- sault or know a shipmate who has been sexually assaulted, this may not be the best or most appropriate place to tell that story.Caution: The following training contains explicit material that may make people uncomfortable.[Please leave the training session now if you believe you could be negatively affected bydiscussing sexual assault.] FACILITATOR ACTION: Click the “Next” button to proceed to Screen 2.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 8

SCREEN 2: CONTINUUM OF HARM Scriptä When we talk about negative behaviors that require intervention, we’re talking about behaviors that fall on a continuum of harm.Polling Question:By show of hands, has anyone already participated in training that discussed the continuum ofharm? FACILITATOR ACTION: Acknowledge those Sailors who have been exposed to this concept in other training and review the construct of the continuum for clarity: • A continuum is simply a range or a scale. • On the left side of the continuum are inappropriate behaviors. • As you move to the right, the behaviors become more serious.Discussion Question:What are some examples of the inappropriate behaviors that may fall on the far left side of thecontinuum of harm as related to sexual assault? Suggested Answers: 9 • Locker-room-style joking while on duty • Spreading rumors • Lack of military bearingCPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0

• Looking at questionable websites while on duty FACILITATOR NOTE• Displaying inappropriate photos/graphics Inappropriate behavior is typically described as low• Making inappropriate/degrading remarks about appearance or empathy, demeaning orsexual activity discriminatory comments or• Degrading/inappropriate initiation rituals (hazing) behavior, stereotyping, un- equal treatment, and rules inconsistently enforced.Discussion Question:Why should we care about the behaviors on the far left side of the continuum?Suggested Answer:• Tolerating, encouraging, or taking part in lower inappropriate behaviors may foster a climate in which harmful behavior can escalate and flourish.Discussion Question:How can inappropriate behavior impact the division or workcenter as a whole?Suggested Answers:• Inappropriate behavior can foster an environment that is unprofessional and possibly unsafe.• Productivity and the unit’s ability to meet mission requirements can be negatively affected.• Such behaviors directly impact the establishment of good order and discipline.• When a Sailor is removed from the unit to face disciplinary action, others have to pick up the extra workload. Script:ä Some of these inappropriate behaviors can be considered grooming techniques. We may build a connection with someone and expect innocent intentions; however, predators take advantage of this situation. Grooming can include using status or position of authority to manipulate oth- ers. It can occur between any two people and gender identification does not make a difference.Discussion Question:How can inappropriate behavior escalate into sexual harassment?CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 10

Suggested Answers:• If potential offenders think they can get away with making sexual innuendos, then they may go further• If potential offenders are subjecting workmates to inappropriate behavior on a regular basis, they might move on to more egregious acts of sexual harassment.Discussion Question:Why is stopping inappropriate, sexist behavior in the workplace important?Suggested Answers:• Sexist behavior is disrespectful and unprofessional.• A sexist environment can be a precursor to sexual assaults along the continuum of harm.• A lax environment may embolden a person who may be considering perpetrating sexual as- sault.• Intervening to stop inappropriate behavior such as hazing can help prevent sexual assault. Script:ä Sexual Harassment can typically be described as unwanted behavior of a sexual nature that creates a hostile work environment, including stalking, texting, and email. Escalating sexual harassment behaviors can lead to sexual assault.Discussion Question:Regardless of gender, what are some behaviors that are examples of sexual assault?Suggested Answers:• Rape• Groping• Intentional sexual contact by force, threats, intimidation• Any sexual contact when the victim does not or cannot consent• Forced oral or anal sex• Any attempts of forced sexual contact to commit a sexual actCPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 11

Recent survey data show that males make up halfof all Navy sexual assault victims, though many do not report. Male victims may not perceive theaction as sexual assault due to circumstances or context when committed during hazing or otheractivities. What are some other common occurrences that involve male sexual assault but maynot be recognized as such at the time?Suggested Answers:• This can include the following: • Locker room/berthing horseplay • Inappropriate initiation activities • Hazing (which is NEVER tolerated)CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 12

Let’s look at their specific responsibilities and actions for each area of the continuum of harm. FACILITATOR ACTION: Click the “Inappropriate Behavior“ button to display leadership’s responsibility and actions in response to an incident.Discussion Question:Please give examples of how your command addresses inappropriate behavior.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 13

Suggested Answers: • Corrects behavior immediately. • Curtails inappropriate talk. • Makes sure everyone is included and valued. • Promotes Core Values and Navy ethos. • Provide disciplinary or administrative action, if appropriate. Script:ä The Commander’s responsibilities and actions are to establish an inclusive command environ- ment, embrace diversity, model Navy ethos, promote intervention and mentoring, and provide verbal/written counseling and disciplinary action as appropriate.ä When there is a sexual harassment complaint, it is very important that your command follows the guidelines outlined in OPNAVINST 5354.1 (series).

FACILITATOR ACTION: Click the “Next” button to proceed to Screen 3.SCREEN 3: RETALIATION Script:ä There are five things to know about retaliation that will be shown on the screen while we discuss this topic.Polling Question:How many of you think your shipmates would be reluctant to report a sexual assault due to fear ofretaliation?CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 14

FACILITATOR ACTION: Acknowledge anyone who answers in the affirmative and let them know that the Navy is committed to addressing retaliation in a serious way. Script:ä Many victims of sexual assault indicate experiencing negative actions after a sexual assault. These reported actions include retaliation, administrative actions they did not want, and/or punishments for any infractions or violations as a result of their sexual assault. While these actions could be retaliation, some administrative or disciplinary actions may not be.ä Anything that discourages victims from reporting a sexual assault, or creates a barrier to vic- tims reporting, is a concern. It is contrary to our core values. When victims don’t come forward, we can’t give them the assistance they need, and we can’t hold offenders appropriately accountable. • Retaliation against a Sailor could be loss of privileges, a denied promotion or training, or being transferred to a less favorable job because that member reported, either formally or informally, a criminal offense. • Ostracism means excluding someone from social acceptance or denying privilege of friend- ship with the intent to discourage reporting of a criminal offense or otherwise discourage the administration of justice. Social media can be a common platform for ostracism. • Maltreatment is treatment which is abusive or unwarranted, unjustified and unnecessary for any lawful purpose that is done with the intent to discourage reporting of a criminal offense or otherwise discourage the due administration of justice. • Any and all of these acts are destructive behaviors, and you can play a role in preventing and reporting it.Discussion Queston:How is retaliation harmful to an individual or the command? Suggested Answers: • Potentially punishes individuals for reporting a crime. • Makes individuals reluctant to report crimes in the future. • Damages ability to recover from the incident due to lack of support.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 15

Script:ä When you are unsure or uncomfortable about talking to a person who has been sexually assaulted, you can create a perceived sense of ostracism, because they may think you don’t want to socialize with them.Discussion Question:What are some ways we can stop these destructive behaviors? Suggested Answers: • Don’t spread rumors. • If you hear rumors or complaints, try to stop them. • Continue to have normal contact with the victim in your workplace or social settings. • Don’t take sides in a report of sexual assault. Let the process work. • Ask your chain of command for assistance. FACILITATOR NOTE 1 Retaliation against a Sailor could be loss of privileges, a denied promotion or training, or being transferred to a less favorable job because that member reported, either formally or informally, a criminal offense. If you or someone you know is assigned extra watches, or denied chances to qualify for a warfare pin because they reported a crime or other violation, it’s your duty to let someone know so it can be stopped and those responsible held appropriately accountable. 2. Ostracism, which is the exclusion from social acceptance, privilege, or friendship with intent to discourage reporting of a criminal offense or otherwise discourage the due administration of justice. 3. Maltreatment is treatment which is abusive or unwarranted, unjustified and unnecessary for any lawful purpose that is done with the intent to discourage reporting of a criminal offense or other- wise discourage the due administration of justice. 4. Social media can be a common platform for ostracism and maltreatment. Commands and Sail- ors should be aware that in the online world, messages and comments can discourage reporting of a crime and ostracize those who have already stepped forward. Social media posts should be treated just the same as if the message was publicly announced on the mess decks. If you wouldn’t say it in person in public then you shouldn’t be posting it on social media. 5. Perceived retaliation is another facet that affects Sailors. Perceived retaliation is defined as ac- tions that are perceived to be taken against an individual for something that may or may not be related to an action that an individual has done.FACILITATOR ACTION:Click the “Next” button to proceed to Screen 4.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 16

SCREEN 4: SEXUAL ASSAULT AFTERMATH SCENARIOScript:ä We have discussed the Navy’s definition of sexual assault and its position on the continuum of harm. We have learned about fear of retaliation, one of the barriers to reporting. Now, we need to review our personal understanding of sexual assault. FACILITATOR NOTEDiscussion Question: You may get many responses,Who can be a victim? Who can be an offender? but ultimately victims or al- leged offenders cannot be Suggested Answer: narrowly defined by demo- • Victims and offenders are made up of both genders across graphics. The alleged offender determines who is going to be all ranks. a victim, and a victim cannot be identified by how he or she looks, acts, dresses, etc.Script:ä Based on understanding the continuum of harm, your BI training, and your own core values, you probably can spot situations that just don’t seem right. When we talk about sexual assault, we have a key factor to help us spot it—consent.Discussion Question:Let’s recall the legal definition of consent. How do you understand the definition of consent interms of the law?Suggested Answers:• Consent is freely given permission to engage in an act.• Alcohol can impair a person’s ability to consent; alcohol use does not preclude the ability to give or receive consent, but having sex with a person who has been drinking is legally risky.• A person’s silence does not necessarily imply consent.• How the person is dressed does not imply consent.• Consent should be clear and certain.• You should never assume you have consent.• A current or former relationship does not give a person automatic permission for sexual intimacy.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 17

FACILITATOR ACTION: If you do not hear all the points, make sure you either fill in the gaps or read the definition verbatim. Script:ä Consent: A freely given agreement to the conduct at issue by a competent person. An expres- sion of lack of consent through words or conduct means there is no consent. Lack of verbal or physical resistance or submission resulting from the use of force, threat of force, or placing an- other person in fear does not constitute consent. A current or previous dating or social or sex- ual relationship by itself or the manner of dress of the person involved with the accused in the conduct at issue shall not constitute consent. A sleeping, unconscious or incompetent person cannot consent.ä The short video clip you are about to see depicts victim reporting after a sexual assault occurred. Although this story is about a woman being assaulted by a man, our response to our shipmates for any type of sexual assault or attempted sexual assault should be the same. As you watch the video, think of ways you might respond. Play Video: Reporting VideoDiscussion Question:Based on this video clip, if a sailor is assaulted, what options are available to receive support andadvocacy? Suggested Answers: • File a report. • Get medical help, if needed. • Talk to a SARC, SAPR VA, SAPR UVA, or DRC. • Talk to your Chaplain. • Talk to the VLC.Discussion Question:If assaulted, what are the two reporting options?CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 18

Suggested Answers: • Restricted • Unrestricted Script:ä If you are assaulted, you are encouraged to file a report so you can be provided medical assistance, advocacy, and support.ä Let’s take a look at what the victim can expect from each of the reporting options.ä Actions and services for Restricted Reporting: • Actions/services provided: • SARC is notified. • SAPR VA is activated. • Medical/psychological support is available. • Forensic examination is available. • Counseling services are available. • Report can be changed to an Unrestricted Report.• Actions not perfomed: • SITREP message is NOT submitted. • NCIS is NOT notified, and an investigation is NOT initiated. • Command is NOT notified.ä Now let’s look at what actions and services are included in Unrestricted Reporting.ä Actions and services for Unrestricted Reporting include: • Actions/services provided: • Command is notified. • SARC is notified.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 19

• SAPR VA is activated. • Medical/psychological support is available. • SARC, SAPR VA, and/or CO must inform victims of their option to request a temporary or permanent expedited transfer. • NCIS is notified, and an investigation is initiated. • SITREP message is submitted. • Forensic examination is available. • Counseling services are available. • Legal services are available. • Victims’ Rights are activated and will be provided to the victim.ä If a victim files an Unrestricted Report, that person must be informed of the option to request transfer from the command per MILPERSMAN 1300-1200. Additionally, a victim can be considered for a Military Protection Order (MPO). Separately, a committee will hold a meeting to determine possible safety concerns for both the alleged offender and victim.ä Regardless of which option victims choose, we want them to report, knowing that privacy and confidentiality are of the utmost concern. The Navy is taking steps to ensure only individuals that have a need-to-know are aware that an assault took place. If you hear scuttlebutt about a sexual assault/sexual assault investigation in any setting, keep it to yourself and ask whoever is publicizing the possible incident to keep it to themselves. Put yourself in the victim’s or alleged offender’s place; would you want this information spread throughout the command?Discussion Question:With confidentiality as a prime concern, does the victim have to report the assault through his orher chain of command at any time? Suggested Answers: • No, victims’ reporting options can include: • Report the sexual assault directly to NCIS. • Report the sexual assault to the Inspector General. • Use the DoD Safe Helpline. • Go to the Commanding Officer of another unit.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 20

Script:ä If an alleged offender is the Commanding Officer or in the victim’s chain of command, it is especially important for victims to know they can go outside the chain of command to report the offense. FACILITATOR NOTEVictims can report directly to NCIS, other COs, or an IG. Victims shall be informed that they canalso seek assistance from the DoD Safe Helpline.The DoD Safe Helpline is a crisis support service for victims of sexual assault in the DoD. It isavailable 24/7 worldwide with “click, call, or text” user options for anonymous and confidentialsupport.

The program requires that care and support provided by medical, SARCs, SAPR VAs, and other SAPR services are gender-responsive, culturally competent, and recovery-oriented. The graphic you see on the screen is the SAPR Process as it relates to victims. Starting with the “Victim” box, all of the items above the red line are associated with the Unrestricted Reporting process and all of the items below the line are associated with the Restricted Reporting process. FACILITATOR ACTION: Explain victim services associated with Unrestricted Reporting using the top part of the graphic.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 21

Discussion Question:What are some of the major reasons that victims do not report a sexual assault?

One of the most effective ways we know to prevent sexual assault is for our shipmates to employ bystander intervention strategies.Discussion Question:We know all of you have attended a variety of BI courses, so we won’t be going into depth hereabout it, but we would like you to tell us which strategy or strategies you are comfortable with andmay have used. To refresh your memory, the strategies are direct, distraction, indirect, or protocol. Suggested Answer: • Students should give examples of how they would use BI to help prevent sexual assault. FACILITATOR ACTION: Click on each BI technique button.CPPD-GMT-SAPRA-1.0 23

FACILITATOR NOTE The “direct” strategy is when you’re straightforward with the participants about their behavior. The “indirect” strategy is when you find a way to defuse the situation, perhaps by involving the participants’ peers or friends. The “distraction” strategy is when you create a diversion, another activity, or attention getter to remove the possible victim from the situation.
