Courses provided to better
service members.
PSA CPSU NSW staff and delegates have undertaken gender equity training.
The courses, devised by Unions NSW, were delivered as one-day workshops. New employees in the future will also receive training. They will then be rolled out to Delegates.
“We want the workplaces we represent to be free of harassment and sexual violence,” said PSA CPSU NSW Women’s Industrial Officer Simone Scalmer. “This course helps all staff better understand the important of gender equity in all workplaces.
“According to Unions NSW, one in three people throughout Australia experience sexual harassment at work, yet only 18 per cent of workplace sexual harassment incidents are reported.”
The courses included information on gender equality and social structures, preventing violence and how casual sexism reinforces discrimination.
