Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct Response Protocol 1.

The severity of a bias incident, and the ACA’s response to these incidents, can vary on the basis of several factors, including location, context, location, pre-meditation, and whether the incident presents a threat to safety. [...] The ACA Directors The Bias Response Team meets as necessary to discuss new and open reports of bias incidents and to apply the Protocol. [...] BIAS INCIDENT REPORTING Bias incidents may be reported either orally or in writing to a BRT member, who is required to document the receipt of such report or complaint as it occurs or soon after, or by submitting a bias incident report form to the ACA Executive Director for transmission to the BRT. [...] Request that the incident and the decision made by the BRT and the action(s) taken be documented for the ACA record. [...] Other actions to address the incident are at the discretion of the ACA BRT, which will make every effort to respect the reporter’s privacy and ensure that the impact on the offending party/parties is proportional to the offence.
