Confidentiality
- We are required by law to report suspected child abuse
- We will take action if you intend to harm yourself or another person
- We have a duty to warn if failure to disclose will likely result in clear, imminent harm of yourself or someone else

When a student reports sexual misconduct to any staff other than a confidential resource, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. CARE staff advocate within Northwestern to prioritize survivor privacy in all university procedures.

In order to identify patterns or systemic problems related to sexual violence, relationship violence, and/or stalking, CARE voluntarily submits aggregated data to stakeholders. Only aggregate numbers (total) about incidents of sexual violence, relationship violence, and/or stalking is reported; CARE does not report information that is personally identifiable. Information about the nature and general location of the incident are kept as vague as possible.
