ACN has been invited by A Better Culture Project to put forward an ACN Representative for their newly formed working groups.
The two groups are
- Workplace Behaviour Expectation Working Group ( EOI's Closed)
- Individual Level Intervention and Reporting Pathways Working Group
Workplace Behaviour Expectation Working Group (EOI's Closed)
The Working Group is established to support the Advisory Board via provision of content expertise and development of a consensus statement on model behaviours and capabilities that should underpin professional relationships in all healthcare workplaces.
The working group will be supported by experts in anti-discrimination, cultural safety and psychosocial safety. These experts should bring content knowledge from current population programs such as Respect@Work, Safework Australia,etc. This expertise will be melded with health-industry specific knowledge of reference group members and inputs generated through the mapping activities of the national framework.
The Workplace Behavioural Expectations Working Group will be time limited and in place until end of 2024 at which time it will be disbanded. Oversight will be provided by the Advisory Board until the project closes and hands over management of workplace culture reform to “business as usual” elements of various entities.
The Working Group will meet at least monthly
Individual Level Intervention and Reporting Pathways Working Group
The Working Group is established to support the Advisory Board via provision of content expertise on individual level interventions and reporting pathways. The working group will define and promulgate mechanisms for individual-level intervention based on “just culture” concepts with clear delineation of blame worthy acts (e.g. criminal actions, intentional abuse, repeated recidivist behaviour).
The working group will be responsible for the following outputs:
- National and international review of individual level interventions
- Development of proposals for adoption by participant entities
- Specific engagement with doctors-in-training regarding reporting pathways
The working group will comprise experts drawn from existing programs and be melded with health-industry specific knowledge of reference group members and inputs generated through the mapping activities of the national framework.
The Individual Level Interventions Working Group will be time-limited and in place until the end of 2024 at which time it will be disbanded. Oversight will be provided by the Advisory Board until the project
closes and hands over management of workplace culture reform to “business as usual” elements of various entities
