Managing Bullying and Harassment in Disability Service
Course Overview
This course provides a robust ethical and legal framework for identifying, preventing, and responding to bullying and harassment within the disability sector. It focuses on the customization of workplace culture to ensure a “Zero Tolerance” environment that protects both vulnerable participants and the frontline staff who support them.
Aligned with the NDIS Code of Conduct and Fair Work Australia standards, this training equips participants with the skills to distinguish between performance management and bullying, and between accidental offense and systemic harassment. Participants will learn how to foster a safe, psychologically healthy workplace where “calling out” inappropriate behavior is supported and protected.
