Fairness and respect

• Consider others’ thoughts, feelings and perspectives.
• Understand what discrimination and vilification, harassment and sexual harassment, and bullying and victimisation and violence can look, feel and sound like – and know that we don’t do it.
• If we feel safe and comfortable, act when we experience, see or hear about inappropriate behaviour or materials.
• Care for and support people impacted by inappropriate behaviour.
• If someone speaks to us about our words or actions, take the time to reflect on, understand, and learn from, their point of view.
• Role model appropriate behaviours and professional relationships.

• Tolerating bad behaviour because of the person’s status such as role seniority, community influence, longevity or because they are said to be a “high performer”.
• Failing to check if someone is ok if you see them upset or struggling.
• Treating someone less fairly because they didn’t respond well to your joke or didn’t agree with your opinion.
• Deliberately not giving people all the information they need to safely and effectively meet the expectations of their job.
• Being dismissive or using patronising language.
• Not paying attention to how people are responding to your words or actions.

Do I understand what acceptable boundaries are at work? Am I being overly familiar with colleagues in my words and actions?

Am I making an unfair judgment about someone? Have I checked all the facts?

Am I consistent in how I treat everyone, regardless of their background?
