Workplace Behaviours for Schools Course (Australia)

This course includes sexual harassment and anti-bullying training, and also brings together the concepts and tools of breach prevention, with an aspirational push for schools and other organisations to create and promote their own diverse and inclusive cultures.

The Australian Government Respect@Work legislation is now in force.

It contains prohibitions on anyone subjecting an employee to a hostile workplace environment on the grounds of sex.

It also imposes a positive duty on employers to take reasonable steps to eliminate sex discrimination, sexual harassment, hostile workplace environments and victimisation as far as possible.

We have updated our modules 1, 2 & 3 to reflect the Respect@Work requirements, so you can be sure your staff, people managers and volunteers are properly trained to comply.

Changing workplace cultures by changing behaviours

The consequences of workplace bullying, discrimination and harassment have never been more widely known.

Bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment can harm individual’s mental health and safety. They can lead to heavy costs for schools, including reputational damage, compensation orders and high staff turnover.

What should you do if you see a colleague being bullied? Where does flirting stop and harassment begin? How do you prevent uncomfortable or unsafe situations from taking place?
