The Legal Side of Training

Two live sessions on the part most facilitation training skips: recording consent, accessibility, documentation, and what you are obligated to do when conduct surfaces in your room.

Cohort forming. Dates go to the list first.

When you are done: You will have one sentence you can say out loud when a participant asks a question past the line, and a routing path behind it.

What you get

  • 2 live sessions of 90 minutes, one a week.
  • Runs closer to a seminar than a workshop.
  • Taught by a J.D. with 12+ years in HR who has handled what comes after.
  • Plain language, and clearly labeled as education rather than legal advice for your situation.

What we cover

Session 1: consent and records

Who has to agree before you record, what the recording becomes later, and how long you keep it.

Session 1: accessibility

Captions, materials, pacing and what a reasonable accommodation looks like in a live session.

Session 2: conduct in the room

What a supervisor knowing means for the employer, and the path a disclosure has to travel.

Session 2: California specifics

Harassment prevention requirements under Government Code 12950.1, and what compliant delivery actually requires.

Who this is for

HR people, internal trainers and consultants who deliver required training.

If you are not sure this is the right one, book a consult and describe the room. I would rather move you to a different program than sell you this one.

What you leave with

A written assessment of your facilitation against six criteria, scored by me on a 0 to 3 scale. To pass you need a 2 or better on every criterion and a 3 on at least half. It is not a certificate, and it is not automatic. It is a page that says what you can do and what you still cannot, which is the only version of this that is worth anything to you.

What happens in each session

Every session runs ninety minutes live, with every person practicing. The list below is the actual running order, published before you book rather than described on a consult.

Session 1

Recording, consent and accessibility

Taught by a J.D. What consent actually requires before you hit record, what participants are entitled to know, what accessibility duties attach to a live session, and the captioning and materials questions that arrive the day before delivery.

You leave able to:

  • Take recording consent properly
  • Meet accessibility duties in a live session
  • Answer the day-before questions correctly

Session 2

Mandates, records and what a facilitator never says

California harassment prevention and workplace violence prevention requirements, what training records have to show, and the line a facilitator does not cross when somebody discloses something in a session.

You leave able to:

  • Map which California mandates apply
  • Keep records that survive an inspection
  • Respond to an in-session disclosure without creating exposure

One session, designed

A one page session design for The Legal Side of Training, session one of two. Six blocks across ninety minutes covering where explaining a policy ends and advising begins, recording consent, what a valid training record contains, and writing your own deferral sentence.
