Case Study 01 · Corporate & Board Governance (Aotearoa NZ)
Replacing Gagging Clauses with Ethical NDAs & Independent Escalation
Sector: Professional Services & Corporate Board (240+ Staff)
Challenge: Following an internal culture review, the board identified low employee confidence in HR reporting channels and legacy settlement templates that risked silencing disclosures.
Programme Delivered: Delivered Module 02 (Ethical Leadership, Power Dynamics & Governance) and adopted Susie Barber’s Model Workplace Safeguarding & Ethical NDA Policy (v2.4).
Documented Outcome: 100% board adoption of survivor-led confidentiality clauses, creation of a dual-track board safeguarding sub-committee, and a 68% increase in staff psychological safety survey scores within six months.
Challenge: Frontline reception, housekeeping, and food-and-beverage teams lacked clear, practical scripts to de-escalate guest harassment and support colleagues.
Programme Delivered: Rolled out the 100-Staff Organisational Licence alongside Half-Day In-Person Active Bystander (Module 04) and Applied Empathy (Module 05) workshops.
Documented Outcome: Standardised incident escalation across all properties, zero tolerance enforced through visible guest charters, and measurable improvement in frontline staff retention.
Sector: Tertiary Education & Community Support Network
Challenge: Pastoral care leads and educators needed non-investigative, trauma-informed language to receive sensitive disclosures without re-traumatising students or compromising statutory pathways.
Programme Delivered: Trained 45 safeguarding leads in Module 03 (Trauma-Informed Disclosure Response) and embedded Printable Flowchart 01 & the Global Support Directory across all campuses.
Documented Outcome: Clear separation between empathetic first response and formal statutory referral, with 96% of participants rating their post-training disclosure confidence as "High" or "Very High".
