Contractual detailing of identity and reasonable adjustment protections for students
Require educational bodies to detail in employment contracts that educators must not challenge student identities, and must use the pronouns and names that the student corresponds with. In addition, it should be detailed that educators must make every reasonable effort to adapt materials as required by disabled student support plans, and if a reasonable request is submitted by a student. Students who raise these concerns will be protected under whistle-blower legislation. If there is a breach of this, the educator will be cautioned. If there are continued breachs (>2), the educator will be investigated and required to undergo mandatory additional diversity and inclusion training. If this behaviour subsequently continues, then the contract with the educator may be terminated. This should cover gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, religion and spirituality, and other minority groups identified in the student population.
