The Australian Institute of Public Safety
supports the concepts of freedom of thought, inquiry, speech,
and lawful assembly. The freedom to experiment, to present
and examine alternative data and theories; the freedom to
hear, express, and debate various views; and the freedom to
voice criticism of existing practices and values are fundamental
rights that must be upheld and practised by the Institute
in a free society.
Every staff member and student of the Institute is expected
to know and follow the Policy on Free and Open Expression.
Forbidden Conduct
Any person whose conduct violates the following may be
held accountable for that conduct if:
• They interfere unreasonably with the activities
of other persons. The time of day, size, noise level, and
general tenor of a meeting, event or demonstration are factors
that may be considered in determining whether conduct is
reasonable;
• They cause injury to persons or property or threaten
to cause such injury;
• They hold meetings, events or demonstrations under
circumstances where health or safety is endangered; or
• They knowingly interfere with unimpeded movement
in an Institute location.
Enforcement and Penalties for Violation
Any person who violates any provision of this policy or
laws or regulations may face sanctions up to and including
termination or expulsion. Depending on the nature and severity
of the offence, violations can be subject to disciplinary
action through the Student Disciplinary System or disciplinary
procedures applicable to staff.
