The UNO Care Team reviews all reports. For privacy reasons, the UNO Care Team won’t be able to report on the specific steps that were taken once a report has been submitted. However, be assured they do evaluate the information you’ve provided and make recommendations on any further action. If you complete a report on an issue that’s related or has happened to you, such as a student threat, the UNO Care Team will contact you directly.
Our Care Team is a group of skilled colleagues who are experts in a variety of areas. Know that once you report a student who is in distress, you’ve placed that student into the care of people who care.
Reporting is the most critical step. Find out more at https://www.unomaha.edu/faculty-support/cfe-faculty-resources/trauma-informed/care-teams.php
