Which entity is tasked with establishing standards for sexual assault training for chaplains?

The Chief of Chaplains is responsible for establishing standards for sexual assault training specifically for chaplains. This role is essential because chaplains serve a unique position within the Navy, providing spiritual support and guidance to service members. Given their access to personnel and the trust placed in them, it is crucial that chaplains receive proper training on issues related to sexual assault prevention and response, enabling them to both support victims and foster awareness within their communities. The establishment of these training standards underlines the Navy’s commitment to addressing sexual assault comprehensively and ensuring that all personnel, including chaplains, are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to respond effectively to incidents of sexual assault. This dedicated focus supports the overarching objectives of the SAPR Program in promoting a safe and respectful environment throughout the Navy.
