Respectful Relations, Health & Well-Being

Goal

We will create and support a safe, healthy, welcoming and affirming community within the Faculty of Education that is accessible, respectful, reflective of diversity and inclusive.

Objectives

• Create an inclusive and welcoming culture for faculty, staff, and students that centres civility, respect, support, and mentorship.
• Assist students in developing the knowledge, skills, and understanding they need to support health and well-being in various contexts for self and others.
• Maximize and sustain support for student, faculty, and staff health and wellbeing.
• Provide opportunities (both formal and informal) for faculty, staff, and students to come together for academic and social purposes.
• Establish clear faculty-wide processes for conflict resolution and access external resources for conflict resolution when needed.
• Prioritize accessibility, safety, and building security, and establish a clear communication plan when accessibility and safety concerns arise.
• Expand our efforts to recruit and retain diverse faculty, staff, and students (see Institutional Commitment to Equity in Employment).
