The program

Expert legal guidance, designed for the people leading and governing schools.

This comprehensive two-day program — developed and designed by Dr Stephen Brown, Managing Director of The Brown Collective, and Megan Kavanagh, Employment & Safety Leading Partner (Queensland), with the team from Colin Biggers & Paisley Lawyers — meets the growing demand for expert legal guidance in schools and the wider education sector.

Designed for principals, school leadership teams and school board members nationally, the annual program returns to Brisbane for the fourth year, following notable success in Sydney, Melbourne and Darwin. Day one runs 9:00 am – 4:30 pm; day two closes at 3:00 pm. Morning tea and lunch are included on both days.

What you'll explore.

  • Governance
  • Discrimination
  • Managing bullying risks
  • Safeguarding
  • Cyber and privacy
  • Managing performance
  • Interactive / Q&A sessions
