Incident Reporting - IBPOC & 2SLGBTQIA+ Networks

All reports may be submitted anonymously.

If you would like to discuss an incident directly with a BCMA team member, please contact:
IBPOC Network Coordinator at: communications@museum.bc.ca or outreach@museum.bc.ca
2SLGBTQIA+ Network Coordinator at: community@museum.bc.ca 

What to expect after you submit:

• BCMA staff will monitor the online form and inboxes for incident reports and will review all reports within 24 hours of being submitted.
• Note: if you are in an unsafe situation at a BCMA event, please reach out to a Network Coordinator or designated mediator (if applicable) for immediate assistance.
• If your report is not submitted anonymously you may be contacted to acknowledge receipt and/or to request additional information.
• The Network Coordinator or designated mediator may be contacted to provide swift on-site support as deemed appropriate.
• If an incident is time-sensitive, the Network Coordinator may take immediate action to remove the perpetrator from the venue. If they are deemed an unsafe individual, they will not be granted re-entry into the session. An Advisory Group review will take place following the event to determine what additional action will be taken.
   
• If an incident is not time-sensitive, the Network Coordinator will respond to the incident after the activity has concluded and will enter into a dialogue with the Advisory Group, and the perpetrator to provide resources and education materials in an effort to seek Transformative Justice.  If this does not contribute to a resolution, additional action will be taken.

Advisory Review (As needed):

After an internal review of the situation, the Network Coordinator may seek guidance from advisory committees and Council to best respond with care and in a manner that reduces harm. 
 

The BCMA will prioritise education where possible. If this does not contribute to a resolution, further action will be taken.
