To support the new workplace harassment and violence prevention regulations that came into force on January 1, 2021, all employees must complete the new mandatory training on the prevention of harassment and violence in the workplace, available through GCCampus.
****Please note that the CSPS is currently implementing updates to these courses and they will be re-launched on February 24th, 2021. GCcampus new registrations to all three courses will be interrupted from February 8th until the relaunch.
The mandatory training must be completed within the following timelines:
- New DND employees - within three months of joining the department
- Existing DND employees – as soon as possible but no later than 31 Dec 2021, and every three years thereafter.
****CAF members who are supervising Public Service employees and have access to GC campus should also take the required training at their earliest convenience. Additional information for those who do not have access will be coming soon.
