This includes but is not limited to, physical aggression, verbal abuse, personal attacks, threats, excessive and repetitive phone calls, and incessant demands for immediate responses.

  • We recognise the importance of fostering positive interactions between staff and learners. However, in cases where the line is crossed, and staff members are subjected to repeated abusive or harassing behaviour, we will take appropriate action to ensure their safety and well-being.

  • If a learner engages in behaviours that constitute staff abuse, IAL reserves the right to disengage from further communication with and terminate the provision of all services without further notice to that individual.
