The Board, therefore, will not tolerate sexual harassment in the workplace and is committed to providing a workplace that is free from sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination based on sex.
Sexual harassment is vexatious conduct based on sex by a person who knows or ought reasonably to know that such conduct is unwelcome. The policy will be enforced where activities related to the business of the Board take place. All persons working for the Board or carrying out Board business are covered by the policy. The Director of Education will develop and implement policies and procedures that discourage employment-related sexual harassment and ensure that all employees are aware of the problem of sexual harassment. The Director will ensure that all employees are informed about the policy, their rights and responsibilities by providing the training and resources for personnel to fulfil their responsibilities under this policy.
