What about sexual harrasment?

Sexual Harassment Policy

At CCAMT, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all members of our community. We have zero tolerance for sexual harassment. This includes any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.

In accordance with Singapore law, sexual harassment can include, but is not limited to:

• Obscene acts that cause discomfort, such as exposing one's genitals, leering at another's body, making lewd gestures, or showing explicit images.

• Indirect acts such as saving a pornographic image as a screensaver on a computer in certain circumstances.

Any student found to be engaging in such behavior will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include expulsion. Furthermore, the matter may be reported to the police or other relevant authorities, as sexual harassment is a criminal offense under Singapore's Protection from Harassment Act 2014. 

Violation of this law can result in a fine not exceeding $5,000, imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months, or both.

If you believe you have been a victim of sexual harassment, we encourage you to report the incident immediately. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Document the incident: Write down everything you can remember about the incident, including the date, time, location, people involved, and any witnesses. Include direct quotes if possible.

2. Report the incident: Contact the Office of Student Affairs and/or your Program Head to report the incident. You can request a Feedback Form or send an email detailing the incident.

3. Investigation: The College and Management  will conduct a thorough investigation into the incident, which may include interviewing the parties involved and any witnesses.

4. Resolution: The Management will take appropriate action based on the findings of the investigation. This may include disciplinary action against the perpetrator, up to and including expulsion.

Remember, everyone has the right to study in an environment free from sexual harassment. Don't be afraid to speak up if you or someone else is being harassed.
