About the course
What this course covers.
This course works through the definitions of violence, harassment, sexual harassment, and bullying, and the behaviours - including the less obvious ones - that signal each, along with their physiological and behavioural effects on the individual and the organization.
It covers developing a harassment and violence policy, risk and threat assessment, the stages of violence, and the operational side of a program: training, monitoring, and handling third parties.
It closes with the real depth of a formal investigation - the complaint process, confidentiality, the designated contact person, informal versus formal procedure, interviewing the complainant and the alleged harasser, handling conflicting evidence, protection against intimidation, and false or malicious complaints.
