>> There are a lot of hard lessons behind requiring mandatory investigation of credible claims. >Worth keeping in mind that companies are always primarily trying to cover their backs and these policies often reflect that. Your comment was a fair one when it comes to corporations, but I was thinking of churches and community groups more like EA than corporations. Bad actors thrive in secrecy, particularly when they can use their power to create repercussions for people reporting bad acts, creating a culture of silence. Mandatory investigation is one of the few effective ways to resolve that. That's why it's the policy and/or law in many circumstances. If my group had the same policy as EA, I would be very uncomfortable with it.
