Our workshops and training

Our ethics awareness workshop is designed to engage managers in conversation on ethical dilemmas and ethical decision making. The Workshop is delivered by the IU Director David Lavell but is very much driven by the experiences and opinions of those participating and draws upon the analysis of case studies. The Workshop will enable participants to:

• Consider the concept of ethics as a core value.
• Understand personal and organisational ethics.
• Better deal with ethical dilemmas.
• Make ethical decisions.

Supervisors or managers may be involved in the initial intake of a complaint or they may receive information which relates to possible misconduct by a University employee.  As such, they need to recognise what types of behaviors could amount to ‘Corrupt Conduct’ and what make some complaints a ‘Public Interest Disclosure’ (PID), and the legal obligations that the University has to deal with such matters correctly. 

This Workshop is interactive and relies upon the use of scenario based exercises. It will enable participants to: 

• Identify Corrupt Conduct;
• Identify a Public Interest Disclosure; 
• Understand the University's legislative obligations for reporting and dealing with such matters;
• Understand the responsibilities that supervisors and managers have reporting and dealing with such matters;
• Learn about the Corrupt Conduct and PID assessment tools that are available.

In addition to our workshops, we also administer and oversee an online Fraud and Corruption Awareness training module. This training takes around 30mins to complete and has an assessment component to it.

Face-to-face training for Managers, Supervisors and Staff who may be involved in the initial intake of a complaint that relates to possible staff or student misconduct. As part of the initial intake of such matters it is important to be aware of proper complaint handling principles. The purpose of this training is to provide an overview of dealing with complaints.

This will be an interactive workshop that will not only provide information on legislative requirements and university process, but will also include scenario exercises to assist with dealing with complaints.

Outcomes:

• What is a complaint?

• Why is it important to deal with complaints properly?

• Complaint management principles.

The IU often provides ad hoc training for staff and organisational units across the University to promote ethical awareness, decision-making and behavior. This includes training on conflict of interests, corrupt conduct, public interest disclosure and sexual harassment at work.
