ADA Basic Officer Leader Course (BOLC) Module A Practice Test

Which statement best describes a Restricted SHARP report?

An official investigation is initiated. May result in offender accountability. Victims can report to CoC, law enforcement, UA/SARC.

Private. A victim must report to a Victim Advocate (VA) and/or Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC). No investigation and no offenders are held accountable.

Restricted SHARP reports protect the survivor’s confidentiality while providing access to support and services. The survivor can report to a Victim Advocate or Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (or seek care from medical staff), and the information stays confidential. This type of report does not trigger an official investigation or initiate accountability processes, which means no formal action against the offender at this stage. The survivor retains the option to submit an unrestricted report later if they want the incident formally investigated and accountability pursued. This combination of confidentiality, access to support, and no immediate investigation is what makes this description the best fit.

The report is handled by a medical staff only.

The report is publicly posted for awareness with no confidentiality.
