Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Overview

1.1.1 NASA continuously strives to promote a supportive and safe work environment. Pursuant to the Presidential Memorandum (reference P.3), this directive establishes procedures and responsibilities for responding to domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking (herein collectively referred to as domestic violence) within the workplace, providing support at the request of employees, and enhancing awareness among employees and supervisors of the options available to assist them. The term "domestic violence," both physical and verbal, can include virtual stalking that occurs in cyberspace, such as email communications, social networking, etc. Additional definitions are located in Appendix A.

1.1.2 In some cases, domestic violence has the potential to spill over to the workplace and threaten the security and the safety of the employee as well as others. Instances of domestic violence responses that affect the workplace are included in NASA's overall workplace violence prevention and response policies covered in NPD 1600.3 and the NASA Desk Guide for the Prevention of and Response to Workplace Violence.

1.1.3 It is the Agency's goal to offer timely and supportive resources to employees who are affected by violence of any type — including domestic violence — with the understanding that each situation presents unique circumstances. Employees who disclose incidents of domestic violence through supervisors, or designated persons in Human Resources (HR), Security, Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and/or onsite Medical clinics, shall receive timely support, including information on community resources.
