It is more and more common for local governments to experience inappropriate and sometimes abusive conduct from members of the public – whether it be defamatory or other inappropriate comments in the context of local government public participation processes, bullying and other intimidation tactics in local government forums, or attacks on elected officials and staff in social media. In this session, we will discuss the obligations and rights of a local government when dealing with abusive members of the public from the perspective of protecting local government staff and meeting WorkSafe BC obligations while ensuring that the local government is meeting statutory and common law public participation requirements.
