What are the two types of reporting regarding sexual assault?

• A. Restricted
• B. Unrestricted
• C. Both
• D. Anonymous

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is that there are two reporting pathways for sexual assault: restricted reporting and unrestricted reporting. Restricted reporting keeps the survivor’s information confidential with designated individuals (like a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, healthcare providers, or chaplains) and does not automatically trigger an official investigation or command involvement. It provides access to medical care, counseling, and advocacy while preserving privacy. Unrestricted reporting, on the other hand, is a formal report to authorities that starts an official investigation and can involve command notification and potential disciplinary actions. Both pathways are available to support survivors' needs: some seek confidentiality and support first, while others choose accountability through formal investigation. Anonymous reporting isn’t treated as a separate pathway in this framework, which is why both restricted and unrestricted reporting are considered the two types.
