The QTU recognises DFV as a workplace issue.
In previous years, the QTU’s Women Teachers and Girls Education Committee developed support materials for schools to assist them in circumstances where members may be experiencing DFV.
Recently, Executive has committed to investigating the provision of DV Work Aware training as part of our QTEC program for 2018.
Additionally, QTU Officers are undertaking training during the remainder of 2017. The QTU is an active participant in the Ministerial Round Table regarding the Not Now, Not Ever report, and at our recent conference hosted a DET workshop on supporting employees in managing DFV issues.
