9.00am to 10.00am: Student Discipline
Presented by Gretchen Stone, Partner, Harrison Stone
10.00am to 11.00am: Malicious Complaints: Adults Behaving Badly
At times the most fraught challenges faced by a school are when adult complainants start behaving badly. We have seen these complainants run toxic campaigns of threats and intimidation with unnecessary telephone calls, emails and large amounts of irrelevant information or insist on things they are not entitled to and outcomes that are clearly not possible or appropriate in the circumstances. Then there is the escalation of complaints and the inevitable allegations of incompetence, collusion, and conspiracy.
Review the resources, and share in the lessons and pitfalls to better prepare you and your board for the inevitable day that an “unreasonable” complainant appears at your school gate.
