NFTY Misconduct Reporting Form
Every participant in NFTY is charged to treat each other with k’vod (respect) according to the Jewish virtue of b’tzelem Elohim; the notion that we are all created in God’s image.
Our purpose is to create a kehillah kedosha; a community of respect and joy for all participants.
Harassment and intimidation behavior that is unwelcomed, violent, or disruptive is forbidden at NFTY events as it conflicts with our NFTY Brit Kehillah. This includes conduct that may be threatening, harmful, or humiliating.
This process addresses conduct that takes place at NFTY events: on location, sponsored transportation and in cyberspace.
Misconduct may include:
• Verbal acts and name-calling.
• Graphic and written statements, which may include use of cell phones or the internet.
• Any sort of physical, unwelcome touching or advances.
• Conduct made either explicitly or implicitly.
• Any private or public media expression; video, photograph, poll, post, journal or blog reference to sexuality or sexual behavior
• Suggestive or offensive remarks; sexually suggestive pictures, sexually suggestive gesturing.
• Subtle or direct propositions for sexual favors.
• Hazing activities.
Misconduct reporting process at NFTY events:
1) An individual can speak to any adult with whom they are comfortable, can trust, and feel supported by.
• The individual reporting is asked to limit sharing with others; peers or otherwise, so the incident can be investigated with respect for all individuals involved.This also aids in limiting the rumors or other social situations that could escalate the situation.
• These individuals involved have the right to remain anonymous throughout the investigation. That being said, providing contact information can aid in allowing NFTY staff to contact individuals if there are any questions or concerns that arise. If an individual does share their contact information, the individual has the choice as to whether or not their name will be shared with other individuals involved.
2) One is asked to complete the form as soon as possible after the incident. The submitted form will be received by the URJ Staff Member, or their supervisor.
3) The person filing the form will be contacted by the URJ Staff Member, or their supervisor, so that the investigation can begin within a reasonable time frame.
4) During the investigation, everyone directly involved will be invited to share their perspective and experience regarding the incident, and like mentioned earlier, these individuals will have the right to remain anonymous
5) The consequences will be reviewed and enacted on a case-by-case basis. Consequences may include positive behavior support, parental/guardian involvement, or review of returning to future NFTY activity.
6) As soon as possible, all parties will be notified that the investigation is complete and what measures will be recommended to continue safe and respectful experiences at NFTY events to preserve our kehillah kedosha.
• A summary of the correspondence, investigation and results will remain on file in the NFTY Area and Region and will be kept confidential.
You may make your report anonymously, however we hope you will share your contact info so we can support you and get more information if needed.
