Sexual Misconduct

‘Sexual misconduct’ captures a broader range of inappropriate behaviours of a sexual nature that are not necessarily criminal.

Examples of sexual misconduct include:

  • developing an intimate relationship with a child, for example, through regular contact with the child without the knowledge or approval of the organisation’s management
  • inappropriately discussing sex and sexuality with a child
  • other overtly sexual acts that could lead an organisation to take disciplinary or other action.
