Respectful Administrative Justice is a 7-hour course that invites open and respectful discussion. You will learn about unconscious bias, micro-aggressions, mindfulness, cultural competence, and cultural humility.
The course explains why tribunal members must build cultural awareness to do their work fairly. You will gain skills and strategies to support respectful hearings, fair decision-making, and clear writing. We will look at how cultural differences can affect communication, assessing evidence, and running proceedings.
The training reflects Canada. Learners may consider differences in race, culture, religion, language, gender, sexual orientation, and ability. Some differences are visible, others are not.
We will also connect this work to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 2015 calls to action, which encourage cultural training, especially about Indigenous peoples.
