ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY

Western Nevada Regional Youth Center has a Zero Tolerance Policy against all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment. The protection of the facility’s youth against all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment is important. All employees, staff, clients, contract employees, contract services personnel, volunteers and visitors are subject to the Zero Tolerance Policy.

HOW TO REPORT

Clients of the facility have the right to report sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment, free from retaliation and consequence. WNRYC offers multiple ways to report sexual abuse and sexual harassment. Reports can be made anonymously.:

When a complaint rises to the level of an internal investigation it will be assigned to a designated individual. All criminal investigations will be referred to the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office. If the Sheriff’s Office declines to investigate, WNRYC will initiate an Administrative Investigation.

All clients have an equal opportunity to participate in or benefit from all aspects of the facility’s efforts to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse and sexual harassment. Material is provided in various formats that ensure effective communication with all clients, including clients with disabilities. 

Victim Support Services

WNRYC has partnered with Crisis Support Services of Nevada to provide survivors of sexual abuse with emotional support services. To access these services, contact (775) 784-8090
