Teaching in today's educational landscape is no easy feat, with educators often grappling with a multitude of administrative tasks and managing disruptive student behaviour. However, the added burden of bullying from colleagues only compounds the difficulties.
Unfortunately, instances of such behaviour have become increasingly prevalent, as was the case for Daniel, a teacher member of the Western Australia branch of TPAA.
Daniel's situation began with an unexpected meeting, called under false pretences to discuss his performance. To his surprise, he was met with unfounded accusations from colleagues, without any prior warnings or opportunities for improvement.
Feeling unjustly targeted and unsure of how to proceed, Daniel reached out to TPAA for assistance.
TPAA quickly assigned Daniel a case manager, who helped navigate the situation and advocate on his behalf. Together, they arranged a meeting with Daniel's employer to address the issues at hand. Through open communication and a focus on finding a fair resolution, it was agreed that Daniel would be relocated to a different department.
