Also, consider printing it and bringing to staff meetings, committee meetings, your other colleagues, members of leadership as a way to engage in conversations that are real and relevant for your environments. It’s in word format so that you can edit it to suit your needs.
Remember: doing nothing is not an option AND the something you do, is because it is right for you and your circumstances.

- Ontario Human Rights Legal Support Centre (free advice from lawyers/paralegals re: potential human rights violations)

Anything else I can do for you?
Please reach out if you’d like to have a conversation about potential education/training/skills development that may be of value to you and your teams.
I’m an strong advocate re: educate (invoke change now), so you don’t have to investigate (address situations later). If we chat, and there are others I know that would better suit your needs, I’m happy to put you in touch.
Thank you again for the chance to have this discussion with you.
