Getting to grips with law and policy can be daunting for beginning and established teachers alike. Law and Ethics for Australian Teachers provides an overview of the professional, legal and ethical issues teachers may encounter in the classroom and the broader school environment. This book breaks down the relevant case law, as well as state and territory legislation and policy, in an accessible and reader-friendly way to help readers navigate these complex issues. It covers topics including duty of care and mandatory reporting, work health and safety issues, family court orders and parenting plans, suspensions and exclusions, and criminal law issues. It also explores teacher registration, professional regulations, and the general ethical responsibilities of teachers. Each chapter features case studies, definitions of key terms, detailed scenarios and end-of-chapter questions to help readers understand a wide range of professional issues. Written by a team of authors with both teaching and legal expertise, Law and Ethics for Australian Teachers is an essential resource for pre- and in-service teachers.

• This is an important text in an area which is lacking appropriate resources, particularly as teachers are increasingly becoming the targets of legal redress, which heightens the need for them to become more legally literate in terms of school law • The information will be conveyed in an easy to understand format with practical case study examples included throughout to demonstrate the application of the law in practice Contents
