MATE Train the Trainer

Why MATE Train the Trainer workshops work. 

It benefits the workplace and community; MATE training mobilises people to become effective bystanders by recognising and respectfully challenging problematic behaviour. The people within your organisation will understand the behaviours that contribute to violence and will be empowered with knowledge that will allow them to personally contribute to equal, inclusive and respectful environments. Not unlike First Aid Training, or Fire Safety Training, MATE equips your people with the tools and the confidence to confront challenging situations. The outcome of which is safety, inclusion and equity.

It makes good business sense:

This is 4 days of Professional Development for your staff. MATE training can offer support in relation to recommendations set out by the Australian Human Rights Commission and peak bodies such as Our Watch. MATE training supports legislation and recommendations from the Respect@Work Report, Work Health and Safety Regulations, the QLD Women’s Strategy and the QLD Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Strategy 2016 – 2026.  This is your opportunity to contribute meaningfully and sustainably to your workplace and community.

Once accredited, MATE Trainers will be skilled to deliver MATE Cultural Change and Creating Respectful Workplace Workshops.
