Safer systems start with the people who run them.
Every organisation needs its people to know what to do when someone is in distress, when harm is happening, and when the way work is done shuts people out. Aurum Learn is where the Foundation is building that training. It now has its own home.
One place for the training every organisation needs.
Nobody arrives at work as one thing at a time. Safety, gender, culture, disability and neurodivergence meet in the same people and the same decisions, so the training has to meet there too.
Aurum Learn brings the Foundation's work into one platform for government, corporate and community organisations. Intersectionality is the method underneath it. The subject is how systems keep people safe, and what the people running them do on Monday morning.
The platform is run by Aurum Foundation and delivered with Just Gold. Learning records are held in Australia.
Start with the free community tier.
Every course has a free community tier. Specialised courses and training for organisations are paid. Charities and social enterprises with annual revenue under $500,000 can apply for the higher tiers at a reduced rate. Each one opens on Aurum Learn.
