At the Rebecca Swift Foundation, we are committed to creating a friendly and inclusive space where all women poets feel welcome and respected. This code of conduct outlines what we expect from everyone who joins our online events, as well as what to do if something doesn’t feel right.
Together we can make our events a positive experience for all.
What we ask of each other
- Be kind, considerate, and respectful.
- Be mindful of the language you use.
- Respect each other’s personal boundaries.
- Contribute positively to create an uplifting space.
What’s not ok
We will not tolerate language or behaviour that causes harm. This includes (but isn’t limited to):
- Intimidating, harassing, or abusive conduct.
- Discriminatory, derogatory, or demeaning remarks, including those based on sexual orientation, race, religion, disability, or gender.
- Sharing unwanted or inappropriate materials.
- Repeated disruption of the event.
What happens if someone breaks the code of conduct?
Unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated. If someone behaves in a way that goes against this code, they will be asked to leave the event.
