About the Webinar

As employees and representatives of the school, how far can teachers and other school employees act or express themselves without breaching their employment obligations? This session will look at the increasing way behaviour is reflecting on the employer, and what schools can do to manage their staff, including:

  • Is there a right to free speech? The lessons of Comcare v Banerji [2019] HCA 23
  • Where do the boundaries of professional and personal lie in an employment relationship? How far can an employer impose their values on an employee?
  • What should your contract say about staff life and behaviour outside the school – managing reputational and other risks
  • Ethical and educational considerations in limiting social media and other interactions between:
  • teachers and students
  • teachers and parents
  • Restrictions on employees and social media – how far can you go?
  • Crafting effective policies and Codes of Conduct for staff behaviour outside the school
  • Disciplinary and other options for staff management: James Cook University v Ridd [2020] FCAFC 123
  • Managing community and stakeholder expectations of employee management: recent examples including Adelaide University and AMP
