This guide is intended for use by victim service providers who wish to develop a SART, a sexual assault response team that serves victims of sexual assault. SARTs usually include victim advocates, law enforcement officers, forensic medical examiners, forensic scientists, and prosecutors. This guide begins with a discussion of what a SART is and the jurisdiction that it covers, such as a State, a territory, a campus, a tribal land, or a multi-city/State region. The guide next provides information on how to assess a community's readiness for a SART and how to identify opportunities for collaboration. A link is provided to a list of online collaboration resources that include: Building Stronger Sexual Assault Survivor Services through Collaboration; Collaboration: A Training Curriculum to Enhance the Effectiveness of Criminal Justice Teams; Collaboration Primer; Community Tool-Box-Tools; and Looking Back Moving Forward-Workbook. The guide finishes with information on how to define SART protocols and guidelines and how to develop a strategy to keep the team momentum going. List of additional resources and references
