In this unit you were asked to reflect on why and how a culture of silence that allows abuse, exploitation and harassment could permeate in your organisation.

We explored what next steps ought to be taken when managing safeguarding concerns, including how to run robust impartial administrative investigations. We heard from leaders who shared the important lessons their organisations had learnt from ‘sex scandals’ and ‘cover ups’ and how they put in place improved measures to keep people safe.

Finally, we looked at how the growing area of microaggressions in the workplace should be recognised and must be called out.

Now go to Unit 4: Good governance and organisational oversight.
