About the Webinar

One of the most challenging aspects of school management is dealing with a school employee who is the subject of allegations alleging assault or concerns for child safety.

This session provides guidance on this issue and will take a closer look at:

  • The legal obligations of the school towards both the student and staff members when faced with this situation
  • What is reportable conduct, and how to comply and balance privacy and disclosure considerations
  • The different options available to schools depending on the nature of the allegation and any subsequent enquiry, investigation or legal proceeding/s
  • Case studies
