NFP Networking Event: How liable is your organisation?
Tuesday, 19 August 2008, 3pm–5pm
Level 2, 228 Pitt St, Sydney
The All Things to All People Community Centre has a problem. One of its clients has been injured and is threatening to sue and there were no witnesses to the injury. A staff member on duty at the time has gone home sick saying she was under too much pressure being expected to work alone. She has since lodged a complaint against the centre. And the story goes on.
Who was liable for the injury suffered by the client? What are the rights of the staff member on duty at the time? These are just some of the issues Margaret White will discuss at this Networking Event. Also see the Topical Legal Issues – Liability, Rights and Duty of Care course on 25 September.
Margaret White, LLM, works as a legal officer with the Anti-Discrimination Board and for many years has been the School of Volunteer Management's legal trainer and presenter of the School's popular Legally Speaking Workshops.
