But unless there was a reason to add a DCI-centralized policy structure, there wasn’t even a reason to consider such. Ooh I wasn't thinking anything specific to add. Its just a good idea to review SH/SA policies every now and then to see if there are shortcomings or if anything can be improved. Plus any society changes that need to be addressed. Know our training changed over the decades. First big change was discussing women as the harasser and not always victim. Then they put their big boy boots on and admitted there can be same sex harrassment. Not to mention pieces brought up in the internet age- Edited April 8, 2019 by JimF-LowBari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI DID have a policy related to member safety: the corps handle it. DCI's office was to relay any reports to the corps after determining if a call to the authorities was mandated. It's not that they didn't have ANY policy, it's that their policy was not centralized so the appearance was that they didn't have a policy. Dci is the corps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d bet it was simply nothing to consider to change the policy. Essentially, “Push everything down to the corps... Anyone want to change that?” Crickets. Again, I wasn’t there, but the policy to push downstream was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
