We are pleased to launch the online training platform in bullying in the workplace and harassment and sexual harassment in the workplace, in conjunction with Legal Island.

2. Workplace Bullying in Ireland

3. Workplace Bullying – Role of Contact Person

4. Workplace Bullying – Role of Nominated Person

The courses on Workplace Bullying in Ireland and Harassment and Sexual Harassment Training provide general training on best practices in managing these issues in the workplace. This training is relevant to all employees, including Principals, Deputy Principals, Teachers, SNAs and Ancillary Staff.

Further to these, the courses on Workplace Bullying – Role of the Contact Person and Workplace Bullying – Role of the Nominated Person are tailored to specifically train employees who will be acting as the Contact Person(s) or Nominated Person(s) in your school. It is important that the employees performing these roles in the school undertake these respective training modules, as mandated by the Code of Practice on Bullying in the Workplace. They should also undertake the training on Harassment and Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. All of these courses will be available on this platform for the remainder of 2024 using the link provided above. We will be rolling out further training later this year also.
