MEMBERS CODE OF CONDUCT
Introduction: This Members Code of Conduct serves as a guideline for individuals who are members of BH and users of the BH facilities. It outlines the principles and expectations that contribute to a positive and respectful environment within the organization. All members and users are expected to adhere to these standards to ensure a harmonious and inclusive community.
Respect for Others: Members are expected to treat each other with respect and courtesy. Harassment, discrimination, or any form of disrespectful behaviour based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, or any other characteristic will not be tolerated.
Inclusivity and Diversity: Members should actively promote and embrace diversity within the organization. Discrimination and exclusion based on differences are contrary to the values of our community. Everyone is encouraged to contribute to an inclusive and welcoming environment.
Responsible Communication: Members are responsible for their communication within the organization. This includes online and offline interactions, ensuring that language and behaviour are considerate and constructive. Disagreements should be expressed in a respectful manner.
Compliance with Rules and Policies: Members must adhere to the rules, policies, and guidelines set forth by the organization. Familiarity with these rules is important, and members should seek clarification if they are unsure about any aspect of the guidelines.
Contribution to the Community: Members are encouraged to actively contribute to the goals and activities of the organization. This includes participating in discussions, volunteering, and supporting initiatives that align with the community’s mission.
Conflict Resolution: In the event of conflicts or disagreements, members should seek resolution through open communication and dialogue. Escalating issues to appropriate channels or following established conflict resolution procedures is encouraged.
