Trauma-Informed Investigations, Part Four: Full Disclosure
This is episode four of the \u201cTrauma Informed Investigations\u201d series, where we follow a fictitious story to address the legal and human issues that arise in an organization when confronted with allegations of sexual abuse. In today\u2019s episode, we discuss the process of conducting an internal investigation and retaining outside counsel, notification processes, and mandatory reporting and communications with law enforcement.
Leading the discussion is my Ballard Spahr colleague Jill Steinberg, a Partner in Ballard\u2019s Philadelphia Office. Jill is joined by Katharine Manning. Katharine is the author of \u201cThe Empathetic Workplace: Five Steps to a Compassionate, Calm, and Confident Response to Trauma on the Job\u201d, and the President of Blackbird DC. She has worked on issues of trauma and victimization for more than 25 years.
