Synopsis:The RCH Culture Survey which was conducted in November 2012 identified that bullying & harassment is a major concern for staff. To improve the culture of zero tolerance of bullying and harassment, the RCH Executive would like to encourage staff to attend a Mock Court training exercise.

The Mock Court is a one hour simulation of a wrongful dismissal claim brought in the Federal Court. It will be facilitated by a former State Prosecutor and defence lawyer, assisted by three participant “volunteers” who will play the roles of witnesses. The session is designed to enhance awareness of the legal and practical risks associated with bullying and harassment in a fun, high impact way.

High pressure work environments, such as hospitals, require employers to adopt a proactive stance when identifying, managing and treating claims of unacceptable workplace conduct. This simulation will highlight the legal implications of getting it wrong and invite introspection of potential vulnerabilities now as opposed to when it is too late.
