Having a copy of what you reported is important in the event your matter needs to process to a Judiciary hearing

3. For all reports lodged, members are asked to kindly send the SSCUA Secretary an email with the incident description. Your Executive Committee wishes to monitor incidents involving our members and offer support to members if there is a need to do so.

4. Members may, where required, seek support from the SSCUA President or Secretary if you feel unsure how to draft your report. Please reach out if you need support in this process.
