APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS/WORKSHEET (Continued)
Calculate Hours of Sexual Assault Advocacy Experience
In addition to DoD experience, you may count civilian or non-DoD experience towards your total hours, given that the experience was providing sexual assault victim advocacy services.
For full-time advocacy experience: Take the number of hours each week worked as a sexual assault victim advocate and multiply by 52 (weeks in a year) to calculate hours per year. Multiply that number by number of years served as a full time sexual assault victim advocate. If you served for less than one year, multiply by the number of weeks you served as a full-time sexual assault victim advocate.
Example: (40 hours per week) x (52 weeks) = 2,080 hours. (2,080 hours) x (5 years) = 10,400 hours.
For part-time advocacy experience: Take the number of hours providing sexual assault victim advocacy each week and multiply by 52 (weeks in a year) to calculate hours per year. Multiply that number by number of years served as part-time SARC/SAPR VA. If you served for less than one year, multiply by the number of weeks you served as a part-time SARC or SAPR VA by the number of hours per week.
Example: (8 hours per week) x (52 weeks) = 416 hours. (416 hours) x (2 years) = 832 hours. - or -
For part-time advocacy experience: Take the number of times on call per year and multiply by average number of hours providing sexual assault victim advocacy per shift. Multiply that number by number of years served as a part-time SARC/SAPR VA. Example: (30 times on call in a year) x (5 average number of hours providing victim advocacy per shift) = 150 hours.
(150 hours) x (3 years) = 450 hours.
Determine the Level to which you should apply:
I have between 0 and 3,900 hours experience providing sexual assault victim advocacy services.
Apply for renewal at a Level I.
I have between 3,900 and 7,800 hours experience providing sexual assault victim advocacy services. I have also provided sexual assault victim advocacy services on three or more occasions in the past two years. Apply for renewal at a Level II.
I have between 7,800 and 15,600 hours experience providing sexual assault victim advocacy services. I have also provided sexual assault victim advocacy services on three or more occasions in the past two years. Apply for renewal at a Level III.
I have more than 15,600 hours experience providing sexual assault victim advocacy services. I have also provided sexual assault victim advocacy services on three or more occasions in the past two years. Apply for renewal at a Level IV.
I have more than 3,900 hours experience providing sexual assault victim advocacy services, but have not provided sexual assault victim advocacy services on three or more occasions in the past two years. Apply for renewal at a Level I.
Verify and Evaluate Experience for Levels II, III, or IV.
Note: In addition to verifying hours of sexual assault victim advocacy experience, applicants must also have provided victim advocacy services in the past two years on three or more occasions, to one or more victims. See Verification of Sexual Assault Victim Advocacy Experience (pages 6 - 7) for further details.
I am already certified at Level I, but do not have enough time and/or the required Sexual Assault Victim Advocacy Experience for a higher level. I do not need to verify my sexual assault victim advocacy experience. I am not submitting Verification or Evaluations of additional Sexual Assault Victim Advocacy Experience. I am re-applying for renewal at Level I.
I am re-applying for renewal at my level of Level II, III, or IV. I do not need to verify my sexual assault victim advocacy experience.

RENEWAL APPLICATION
SARC/SAPR VA CODE OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS
Every Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate (SAPR VA) must act with integrity, treat all victims of sexual assault crimes with dignity and compassion, and uphold principles of justice for accused and accuser alike.
To these ends, this Code will govern the conduct of SARC/SAPR VAs:
I.In relationships with every victim, the SARC/SAPR VA shall:
1.Recognize the interests of the victim as a primary responsibility.
2.Respect the victim's civil and legal rights, subject only to laws requiring disclosure of information to appropriate other sources.
3.Respect the victim's rights to privacy and confidentiality, subject only to laws requiring disclosure.
4.Respond compassionately to each victim with personalized services.
5.Accept the victim's statement of events as it is told, withholding opinion or judgment, whether or not a suspected offender has been identified, arrested, convicted, or acquitted.
6.Provide services to every victim, within policy guidelines set by the DoD and the Services, without attributing blame, no matter what the victim's conduct was at the time of the victimization or at another stage of the victim's life.
7.Foster maximum self-determination on the part of the victim.
8.Serve as a victim advocate when assigned, and in that capacity, act on behalf of the victim's stated needs and within policy guidelines set by DoD and the Services.
9.Should one victim's needs conflict with another's, act with regard to one victim only after promptly referring the other to another qualified SARC/SAPR VA.
10.Have no personal or sexual relations with victims currently supported by SARCs or SAPR VAs or with alleged offenders, in recognition that to do so risks exploitation of the knowledge and trust derived from the professional relationship.
11.Make victim referrals to other resources or services only in the victim's best interest, avoiding any conflict of interest in the process, and do so in accordance with DoD regulations.
II.In relationships with colleagues, other professionals, and the public, the SARC/SAPR VA shall:
1.Conduct relationships with colleagues in such a way as to promote mutual respect and improvement of service.
2.Conduct relationships with allied professionals such that they are given equal respect and dignity as professionals in the victim assistance field.
3.Take steps to quell negative, insubstantial rumors about colleagues and allied professionals.

5.Provide professional support, guidance, and assistance to new SARCs/SAPR VAs to the field in order to promote consistent quality and professionalism in victim assistance.
6.Obey all applicable Federal, DoD, and Service laws and regulations.
III.In her or his professional conduct, the SARC/SAPR VA shall:
1.Maintain high personal and professional standards in the capacity of a service provider and advocate for victims.
2.Seek and maintain a proficiency in the delivery of services to victims.
3.Not discriminate against any victim, employee, colleague, allied professional, or member of the public on the basis of age, gender, disability, ethnicity, race, national origin, religious belief, or sexual orientation.
4.In accordance with restricted reporting, applicable privileged communications, and all applicable Federal, DoD, and Service privacy laws and regulations, respect the privacy of information provided by the victims served before, during, and after the course of the professional relationship.
5.Clearly distinguish in public statements representing one's personal views from positions adopted by organizations for which she or he works or is a member, in accordance with Service policy.
6.Not use her or his official position to secure gifts, monetary rewards, or special privileges or advantages.
7.Notify competent authorities of the conduct of any colleague or allied professional that constitutes mistreatment of a victim or that brings the profession into disrepute.
8.Notify competent authorities of any conflict of interest that prevents oneself or a colleague from being able to provide competent services to a victim, or from working cooperatively with colleagues or allied professionals, or from being impartial in the assistance of any victim.
9.Notify competent authorities immediately if charged, arrested, and/or convicted of any criminal activity.
IV. In her or his responsibility to any other profession, the SARC/SAPR VA will be bound by the ethical standards of the allied profession of which she or he is a member.

EVALUATION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIM ADVOCACY EXPERIENCE
INSTRUCTIONS
COMPLETE this Evaluation if you are:
- A renewal D-SAACP Applicant and are applying to move up a Level in Certification.
DO NOT COMPLETE this Evaluation if you are:
-A renewal D-SAACP Applicant applying to the same Level as your current Certification.
-A first time applicant. Use DD Form 2950. (This is DD Form 2950-1, the Renewal Application.)
Evaluation of Sexual Assault Victim Advocacy Experience: In addition to the Level II, III, and IV minimum hours requirement, Applicants must submit evaluations of three instances or occasions within the past two years where the Applicant provided victim advocacy services to a person victimized by sexual assault.
Evaluator: The person(s) evaluating the Applicant's victim advocacy services may be any person with authority and/or in a position to have observed and evaluated the Applicant's knowledge, skill, and work experience as a SARC, SAPR VA, civilian victim advocate, or any other position where the Applicant provided sexual assault victim advocacy services. The evaluation may be from the same evaluator, or from up to three different evaluators.
What may be evaluated: Any instance or occasion where the Applicant provided victim advocacy services to a sexual assault victim may be evaluated. Three separate instances need to be evaluated.
The evaluations submitted may be for services provided to the same victim. Therefore, a SARC or SAPR VA assisting a victim in an extensive or complex case can have three victim advocacy evaluations for support to one victim. Likewise, an applicant who has worked with several victims may obtain evaluations of experience with different victims.
Example: An example of an experience that may be evaluated includes, but is not limited to: providing/explaining reporting options; attendance at medical examination(s); attending investigatory interview; assisting a victim before, during, and after a legal interview; and providing support before and after meetings of the victim and his/her supervisor. Each of these examples alone should be sufficient for one evaluation.
Only three (3) victim advocacy response evaluations are required. Print additional copies of Evaluation pages as necessary.
