EDLE634 Employment Relations and the Legal Context in Education
10 cp
This unit has two strands. The legal strand provides students with a working knowledge of law as it affects education. It will give students an opportunity to apply basic legal principles to practical situations in schools and systems. Sources of law will be examined by studying relevant aspects of common law [eg torts law] and statute law [eg anti-discrimination legislation and child protection legislation].
The employment relations strand deals with matters relating to the employment of staff in education, for example enterprise bargaining and agreements. It also seeks to develop some of the skills necessary to effect harmonious employment relations.
