TasTAFE’s Learner Code of Conduct is based around the principles of safety, fairness, respect and legality.
All members of the TasTAFE community- including visitors to TasTAFE sites - can expect an environment and interactions that are:
- Safe and healthy - everyone feels physically, psychologically and emotionally safe. Workplace Health and Safety legislation and standards are met, and everyone works to the specific requirements of the learning area they are in.
- Respectful and considerate - people treat each other with respect. No-one faces intimidation, aggression or violence. Everyone around you is free to participate in their learning or work activities. Diversity is embraced.
- Fair and equitable - everyone is treated fairly. There is no harassment, bullying or intimidation. Everyone can access the TasTAFE experience, and no-one faces disadvantage or discrimination.
- Honest and legal - everyone always acts lawfully, in line with legislation including Workplace Health and Safety legislation. TasTAFE policies and procedures are followed by everyone.
As part of the broader TasTAFE community, all learners, teachers and other staff have a role to play to ensure everyone has a welcoming, healthy and equitable learning environment.
Your teacher will discuss the TasTAFE Learner Code of Conduct with you and your fellow learners at the beginning of your course of study. Everyone will have the opportunity to agree on a specific set of class or group rules. These rules and the Code of Conduct will be your guide to contributing to a safe, fair, respectful and lawful learning experience while you are at TasTAFE.
