Indigenous Cultural Competency for Legal Academics Program data

Abstract

The Indigenous Cultural Competency for Legal Academics Program was initiated as a response to the Behrendt Review to support the embedding of Indigenous cultural competency (ICC) in legal education with a view to building ICC in all students, and to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student outcomes in law. Key activities of the project included: a consultation workshop with key stakeholders to identify knowledge gaps, professional development needs and the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to develop ICC; the Indigenous Cultural Competency in Law: Deliberating Future Directions Workshop to develop guiding principles and strategies for incorporating ICC in legal education; a survey of law schools to ascertain the current level of ICC in legal education; and a student survey to gain insights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students’ experiences of legal education. This dataset includes transcripts from the ICCLAP Consultation Workshop, and data from the Future Directions Workshop, law school survey and student survey. The project was funded by the Australian Government of Education and Training (formerly Office for Learning and Teaching – Grant ID14-3906). The Final Report of the project was published in April 2019. Projects reports are available at www.icclap.edu.au
