We invite you to watch our recent webinar on the topic Emerging Risks for Schools: AI, Privacy and Student Safety.

Join Cecelia Irvine-So, Practice Leader, and Helene Ross, Senior Lawyer, for an informal education sector discussion on some of the emerging legal, privacy and technology issues schools are navigating.

The session will look at recent developments and practical questions around:

• the recent concussion case and what it may mean for schools
• eSafety and the use of student photos
• the Children’s Online Privacy Code
• AI, deepfakes and image-based abuse
• emerging technology such as smart glasses

This will be a practical, conversational session, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and discuss how other schools are approaching these issues.

With Queensland’s Reportable Conduct Scheme (Scheme) commencing on 1 July 2026, organisations that care for, supervise or exercise authority over children face a material shift in accountability, governance, and operational decision-making.

While the framework itself is relatively clear, the challenge for most organisations is implementation. Systems, escalation pathways and leadership judgment will need to operate together in real time, and withstand scrutiny from regulators, boards and the community.

Presented by Skye Rose, Practice Leader and Tal Shmerling, Special Counsel, this webinar will provide a focused, practical briefing to support your organisation to prepare with confidence and meet both the legal requirements and the broader expectations of a child safe organisation.

What this session will cover

We will provide a practical, leadership-level briefing on:

• The structure and intent of the Scheme, and what it requires in practice for governance, oversight and accountability
• The role of the Head of Entity and how that responsibility is exercised and supported day to day
• What constitutes reportable conduct, and how to recognise and escalate issues early
• Designing systems that support timely notification, decision-making and documentation
• The interaction with the Child Safe Standards, and the implications for organisational culture, leadership and assurance

Positioning your organisation to meet the standard

We will also step through the practical supports and areas of uplift most organisations will require, providing a clear roadmap for implementation, including:

• Policies and procedures
  Aligning frameworks to the Scheme so they can support consistent, defensible decision making.
• Board and executive training
  Clarifying oversight responsibilities, escalation pathways and how boards obtain meaningful assurance.
• Workforce readiness
  Ensuring staff and volunteers understand what to report, when to report, and how to respond appropriately.
• Head of Entity (HoE) model
  Identifying the appropriate role holder and structuring accountabilities across the organisation.
• Operational support for the HoE in practice
  Establishing practical processes for the HoE and their delegates for triage, risk assessment, investigation and engagement with the regulator.
• Investigations 
  Conducting fair, procedurally sound, trauma-informed, and defensible reportable conduct investigations which that meet regulatory and community expectations.

Why attend

The Scheme introduces clear reporting timeframes and heightened expectations around independence, documentation and investigative rigour. Many organisations are well progressed in principle, but less prepared for the pace and complexity of decision-making once matters arise. This session is designed to move you from awareness to implementation, enabling you to act early, avoid reactive responses and demonstrate strong governance from the outset.

Who should attend

This session is designed for board members, CEOs and senior leaders responsible for governance and organisational readiness. It focuses on how the Scheme operates in practice, and what needs to be in place to support consistent and defensible responses when concerns arise.

Watch our webinar on the topic Managing Ill and Injured Workers: Grey Zones and Hard Calls.

When an employee is injured, employers are rarely dealing with a single issue. Medical evidence, operational demands, legal obligations and broader people considerations often sit in tension, requiring careful and balanced judgement at every stage. The decisions made in these moments can have lasting consequences.

• When and how medical certificates can be appropriately tested or challenged without creating risk
• Responding to prolonged or uncertain capacity without creating legal exposure
• Navigating the interaction between return-to-work obligations and discrimination risk
• Approaching the difficult question of whether continued employment remains viable
• What a structured, defensible decision-making process looks like in practice

Who should attend

HR leaders, People and Culture teams, CEOs, COOs, and operational leaders responsible for workforce risk.

AI is changing how harm occurs within organisations. Anonymous attacks, manipulated content and targeted harassment can escalate quickly, often without a clear source.

When harm arises, the response is rarely straightforward. You may not know who is responsible. The conduct may involve VPNs or anonymous platforms. At the same time, you must act quickly to protect the individual and prevent further harm.

In this practical webinar, Cecelia Irvine-So, Practice Leader of our Privacy & Education teams, and Tal Shmerling, Special Counsel in our Safeguarding and Child Safety team, bring together their expertise to deliver a clear, practical framework for responding to these high-risk scenarios.

Our presenters will cover:

• How AI is reshaping organisational risk
• Immediate steps when harm is identified
• Investigating where the source is unknown or concealed
• Managing risks involving VPNs and anonymous activity
• Protecting individuals from ongoing harm

This webinar is essential for leaders and professionals responsible for governance, people, risk and safeguarding who want to stay ahead of AI-driven harm.
