Code of Conduct for Speakers, Delegates and Contributors

The SCSC is a community offering networking and support, promoting inclusion within the engineering community. It encourages freedom of speech and debate, whilst ensuring a safe and respectful environment.

The SCSC asks speakers, delegates and contributors to act in accordance with this Code of Conduct.

• Approach everyone with kindness, respect and an open mind; assume positive intent
• Be curious and ready to learn; reach out for diverse ideas and opinions
• Use appropriate language and behaviours
  • be aware of jargon
  • include different sectors and industries
  • explain terms
  • be mindful of the audience and recordings (especially for humour)
  • avoid anything potentially offensive or intimidating like profanities
  • comply with relevant laws (eg. equality act, in particular anything impacting protected characteristics)
  • avoid anything libellous or defamatory. 

The SCSC reserves the right to maintain a supportive environment. The SCSC may therefore:

• pause a presentation, question or discussion at any time 
• intervene in forum discussions, including the removal of comments.
