As noted in the Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Policy, GLI aims to ensure a safe, inclusive and well-informed community. This includes:
A trained Student Support Officer for Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment (SASH) reporting: safety@gli.edu.au
Training for all staff on responding to disclosures of SASH;
A commitment to partnering with the Australian and state governments in the ‘Stop it at the Start’ initiative.
First responders will
Support you by listening to what you choose to share – their first priority is your wellbeing;
Show you the available support services;
Show you how to report – to GLI and/or to the police;
Maintain confidentiality of the complainant and the accused except for reporting to police (where legally required).
If desired, connect you to a counsellor trained in assisting those who have experienced SASH
If you experience harassment, bullying, unlawful discrimination or assault (sexual or otherwise) GLI recommends:
You seek support from a trusted person such as a family member, counsellor, Student Support Officer, or an external provider;
You seek to appropriately limit the number of people you inform so that any investigations are impartial and your own privacy is protected;
You report the incident to GLI. This can be done independently, or with the help of a trusted staff member (such as a Student Support Officer or first responder);
If you are not satisfied with the way your complaint is dealt with, you can seek further advice from an outside agency such as the Human Rights Commission or the Equal Opportunity Commission ( QLD) or other relevant government agency;
Students and staff may choose to report the incident to the police. In the case of an emergency please dial 000 for the police, fire or ambulance. If the situation is not an emergency please call your local police station or you can make a report in-person at your nearest station. You may wish to make a formal report or draw upon the informal or anonymous reporting options offered by the state police force. You can take a support person with you when making a report to the police
Online Safety
It is important to stay safe online! Online safety is for all students and staff. Throughout on campus and online orientation activities, GLI students will learn about online safety and safe computing practices which include:
Managing security settings
Using software to protect private information
Physical actions with regards to the devises used.
When creating passwords, it is safest to use unique passwords.
Never share passwords with anyone.
Make sure you think before you click! Most cyber attacks start with an email. If students are not sure if an email is safe, then do not click on it. Clicking a dodgy or unsafe link are common ways of being hacked.
Back up your data! This can be done by USB, Hard drives, the Cloud, and other online storage options. If students are targeted by an attack their files are at risk. Having the files backed up means students will not lose important files.
Keep your laptops, smart tables and smart phones updated. Many cyber attacks target old devices that do not have updated protection software.
Be careful about Wi-Fi, GLI has free safe Wi-Fi available for students. Often hackers gain access to devices through unsafe Wi-Fi.
Keep personal information private.
Minimise the risk of inappropriate contact using GLI email addresses, report unauthorised communication, and block unknown email addresses.
Be careful what you share on social media. Hackers use social media too!
