Respect and equality in TAFE
TAFEs can help to create an Australia that is safe, equal and free from violence.
This topic area is for people undertaking gender equality or violence prevention work at TAFEs and dual-sector institutions. Our Respect and Equality model outlines a whole-of-institution approach and can guide you to build a TAFE that actively promotes gender equality. You can help stop violence and harassment with our tools and resources to support you along the way.
Evidence shows that for TAFEs to prevent gender-based violence they need to address what drives violence across the entire institution.
You can help stop violence and harassment. Respect and Equality in TAFE outlines a whole-of-TAFE approach and can guide you to build a TAFE that actively promotes gender equality.
This is what prevention looks like in TAFEs.
TAFE SA's Gender Equality Action Plan was developed with support from Our Watch through consultation and driven by TAFE SA leadership with a goal to embed gender equality in every part of TAFE life.
