WHAT IS A SART?

A Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) is a group of community professionals who work
to coordinate an immediate, high quality, multidisciplinary, victim-centered response to
sexual assault cases. The team creates a mechanism to monitor the effectiveness of the
response and to promptly address problems in service delivery.

WHY IS SART IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY?

A SART can assess and improve the effectiveness of current coordinated
interventions.

•

A SART can identify agencies that should be involved in the
multidisciplinary team.

•

A SART can provide a timely victim-sensitive and coordinated response to a
sexual assault. This can increase the likelihood that victims will seek follow-
up assistance and long-term support to promote healing, whether or not a
formal police report is filed.
