AFL’s new-look “respect and responsibility” policy explained

The AFL’s new-look “respect and responsibility” policy will streamline the process for complaints against AFL employees.

“The AFL needs to do a better job at making clear where people can go to,” she said on Thursday.

Ms Jenkins said the new system will make procedural fairness easier.

“We need to be a bit more focused on the person complaining,” she said.

“It’s not a process that says ‘if you come to us, we will completely believe you no matter what’.

“But it is a process that says ‘we will treat you respectfully’.”
