There are a number of aspects to privacy and anonymity in this process. We're not because of privacy protecting perpetrators or people who have behaved inappropriately. Where we're focused on privacy is actually on the anonymity of person reporting the problem, generally at their request. We always protect their anonymity if they've asked us to do so. That's where the SMRC.... Denise can certainly speak to this in great detail. When that's the anonymity process and that conversation goes back and forth to the determination that the person affected wants to make a formal report, at that point the chain of command is made aware, but one of the key things about the SMRC is protecting the anonymity of the person who calls in.
