This session will look at the diversity of the community councillors serve, and council’s obligations when it comes to key issues affecting the community. 

Councillors will also gain an understanding of meaningful community engagement and its importance in the decision-making process. 

This module will take councillors through the fundamentals of occupational health and safety and psychosocial hazards. It will look at ways to prevent and address sexual harassment, including the importance of diversity and Inclusion.
Participants will be taken through ways to appropriately manage conflict and disputes, including processes under the councillor conduct framework. 

These intensive workshops have been designed for councillors to attend as a group where they can grow their knowledge through shared learning and peer support. 

A minimum of four council groups are required for the sessions to proceed.
