Events Code of Conduct

We are committed to making our events as safe, respectful, inclusive and enjoyable as possible.
Our events draw a wide variety of attendees with different identities, views and experiences so it is important that everyone has a common understanding of appropriate behaviour.

We require all attendees of our events to follow this Code of Conduct.
If you think you might have difficulty understanding or following this Code of Conduct, please let us know before the start of the event so that we can help you.

Consent

Equality and Diversity

Disability and neurodiversity inclusion

Confidentiality

General Behaviour

What happens if the Code of Conduct is broken?

We take all kinds of discrimination seriously and respect that not all discrimination is overt. Please report actions and comments that make you feel uncomfortable. If you do not wish actions to be taken by the organising team, that is fine. It will however help us to keep our code of conduct up to date and ensure that we can take steps to avoid future issues at our events. We take all complaints and comments seriously.

You can tell us during the event by speaking to a member of staff or a volunteer.

After the event, you can email en@equality-network.org or sta@equality-network.org.

Examples of things we can do:

Breaches of the Code of Conduct will be dealt with at the discretion of Equality Network and/or Scottish Trans staff. We may also make other reasonable requests that are not specifically included here or take other action if necessary.

If you have a complaint you can also send it to us using our complaints policy.

Thank you for reading and following this Code of Conduct.

If you have any questions, please contact us.
