Inclusion and Risk: Navigating Legal Duties in School Communities – a schools law Power Pair of recorded webinars

This Power Pair comprises 2 popular schools law & regulatory webinars from earlier this year.

Webinar 1: Gender Identity and Sexuality in Schools: A Delicate Balancing Act

With growing societal debates around gender identity, sexuality, and their place in education, schools with traditional views on gender and sexuality face unique challenges. This session offers a comprehensive look at how current laws and policies intersect with gender and sexuality in schools, focusing on practical implications for students, staff, and policies. It covers:

• The current legal landscape: Navigating the application and inconsistencies of federal and state/territory discrimination laws, including gender identity
• Different treatment considerations: Rights of prospective and current students, and staff in schools with traditional views on gender
• The evolving landscape: Transgender students, policies around transitioning, and balancing rights
• The law as it stands in various states and territories
• Insights from the ALRC recommendations and their broader implications
• Preparing for the future: What schools need to consider as policies and societal views evolve

Webinar 2: Disability Discrimination, Reasonable Adjustment and the Impact of the Royal Commission Findings on Schools

Anti-discriminations laws require education providers to accommodate children with special needs, including where practicable, to make reasonable adjustments. This requirement is not as simple as it seems and can provide a challenge in the wider school environment. This session will look at the increasing obligations for schools in accommodating special needs, including:

• What constitutes a disability?
• Unpacking the obligation to make a “reasonable adjustment” and what it means in practice
• Exceptions including “unjustifiable hardship” - cases and examples
• The impact of NDIS funding on reasonable adjustments and allocation of responsibilities and costs
• The final recommendations of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with a Disability and their effect on schools
