Title IX: Training for Employees Responsible for Compliance and Investigations

 

Safe campuses: Students deserve it. Parents demand it. Institutions want it. Title IX requires it. We can train it. Training is critical.

We can provide effective training seminars in Title IX and all areas of civil rights to provide you with tools to competently and confidently guide you through the reporting, investigation and/or grievance process.

Van Dermyden Maddux Law Corporation can provide trainings in conducting prompt, thorough and impartial investigations into the following claims:

  • Sexual Harassment
  • Sexual Violence
  • Sexual Misconduct
  • Discrimination
  • Retaliation

Whether you need a half-day seminar or an extensive three-day program, Van Dermyden Maddux uses an interactive, practical approach in our trainings. We also offer stand-alone sessions on effective interviewing techniques and bullet-proof report writing.

Training programs can be customized to meet the unique needs of your institution, from large groups to one-on-one instruction. Customization regularly includes review and discussion of the internal policies or procedures adopted by the institution.

Kudos from attendees

  • Several people took the time to call and tell me and many others spoke in the halls. Everyone agreed that you are the best presenter yet.
  • The presentation by Ms. Maddux was informative and generated excellent discussion between all the attendees. I have only one suggestion. Although I am not a fan of trainings in general (especially 3 hours worth) I believe that this particular session could have even been longer.
  • The smaller group size actually produced some great discussion… one of [our supervisors] told us this morning that employees are much more aware of what they’re saying and doing and that it’s all good!
  • I would like to thank you again for a job well done. We all had a good time and learned, which was the point all along. Talking about it with the staff has actually created a buzz with them, as well.
  • Eve was very enthusiastic. Time went fast. It was very well-presented and a very valuable informative session.
  • The presenter has a very energetic, personable style that kept the class interesting, engaging and actually pretty entertaining.
