Teacher Privacy Guidelines

Summary

In Quebec, teachers can discuss student and parent names with colleagues for educational purposes, respecting privacy guidelines. For workplace harassment, document incidents, report to HR, and consider filing a complaint with CNESST if issues persist. Consulting a labor lawyer may provide additional legal options.

Full Conversation

A parent, who is also a colleague, sent me harrassing emails and I discussed it with other colleagues who lived similar events with the same person when teaching their child.
I'm sorry to hear about the harassment you're facing. In Quebec, harassment in the workplace is taken seriously. Here are some key points:
- Document Everything: Keep records of all harassing emails and conversations.
- Internal Policies: Check your institution's harassment policy and report the incidents to HR.
- Legal Protections: Quebec's Act Respecting Labour Standards provides protections against psychological harassment.
Have you reported this to your HR department yet?
Yes and I know of over * other people who did. HR had a discussion with her and want mediation, like every time. But it always continues
In Quebec, if harassment continues despite HR's involvement and mediation, you may consider the following steps:
- File a Complaint: You can file a formal complaint with the Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST).
- Legal Advice: Consult with a labor lawyer for legal options to address ongoing harassment.
Would you like more details on how to file a complaint with CNESST?
