What should be outlined in a SART protocol regarding referrals?

Only referrals to law enforcement
Clear guidelines for referring victims to other service providers
That referrals are not necessary
Referrals should only occur after the investigation

The correct answer is: Clear guidelines for referring victims to other service providers

Referring victims to appropriate services is a critical component of a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) protocol. Providing clear guidelines for these referrals ensures that victims receive comprehensive support following an incident of sexual assault. This not only includes connections to law enforcement but also to medical care, counseling services, advocacy programs, and other supportive resources tailored to the needs of the victim. Having well-defined guidelines in the protocol helps streamline the process, making it easier for responders to assist victims effectively and efficiently. It acknowledges the complexity of each victim's situation and encourages holistic care that addresses their physical, emotional, legal, and psychological needs. This approach facilitates a more coordinated response and better outcomes for victims, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive care rather than focusing solely on law enforcement or delaying support until after investigations occur.
