Completion of this program counts towards the
Advanced Certificate in Adjudication

As an adjudicator, it is imperative that you understand culture and recognize its role in administrative adjudication. Over the course of one day, you will learn current best practices and participate in challenging fact scenarios and role plays. Developed using a reflective template designed to encourage a systematic approach to questioning our assumptions and improving our cultural competence, specific topics include:

  • Learn how to analyze and diagnose the causes of conflict and options to manage and intervene in conflict effectively
  • The key elements of cultural competence: knowledge, skills and attitude
  • The role of implicit bias, power and privilege in the hearing room
  • Creating an inclusive and accessible hearing environment
  • Hearing accommodation, including: disability-related needs, religion
  • Mental health challenges

PLUS! Don’t miss the optional Skills Workshop on April 17, 2018.
Tribunals are increasingly called upon to interpret and enforce human rights law. In this optional half-day workshop, you will examine in greater depth.
