One of our goals as an organisation is to create a friendly and welcoming space that is safer for everyone. Our code of conduct and safe space policy defines how we do this.
We acknowledge that no space is 100% safe. Sometimes oppressive and discriminatory behaviour is hard to recognise, but we do our best to recognise and reduce the impact.
We have a mandatory reporting policy for all breaches of our Safe Space Policy and Code of Conduct. If you witness someone breaching either of these policies, you are obligated to report the incident to the committee.
"The standard you walk past is the standard you accept." - If you don't take steps to stop discriminatory, oppressive or otherwise unacceptable behaviour, you are helping to perpetuate it.
If you breach any of our policies and procedures, in particular our code of conduct or this safe space policy, expect to be challenged. If you see someone else breaching our policies and procedures, (respectfully) challenge them. Serious or repeated breaches will result in you being asked to leave.
We don't tolerate discriminatory behaviour ever. An important part of our safe space policy is respecting and using a person's correct gender pronouns and name at all times (even if they are not present).
