Post-secondary institutions (PSIs) should play a critical role in ensuring that educators are well-equipped to set appropriate boundaries with students. PSIs can do this through a combination of training, policy development, support systems, and fostering a culture of respect and professionalism. There are several ways institutions can support their staff in this regard:

  1. Comprehensive Training Programs:
  2. Clear Policies and Guidelines:
  3. Support Systems:
  4. Institutional Culture:
  5. Technology and Online Interaction:

In conclusion, PSIs can help ensure that their staff are well-equipped to set and maintain appropriate boundaries with students (and each other) through providing educational and technological resources, explicit policy & processes, and employee support systems. These steps will foster a safer and more professional learning environment and work culture for students and staff.
