Code of Conduct
Members of LCKG to subscribe to equity, diversity and inclusion.
being respectful and understanding, allowing members and visitors to feel safe and listened to
actively challenge discrimination and injustice
make sure there are effective processes for addressing discrimination (see whistleblowing below and safeguarding policy)
commit to building kindness and fairness within LCKG’s culture
remembering that inclusion isn’t just about ‘being part of something’ but requires that everyone feels they belong, have agency and credibility
Disputes and disagreements: if you feel you might have upset anyone, please approach them and take time to talk things through. Should you ever be upset by another member, likewise, raise the matter with them in a considered way and wherever possible, resolve things early on. If, for any reason, someone feels they need to take matters further, please approach someone on the management committee team (Vanessa 07766464229, Jacqui, or Neil) for help. LCKG will do all it can to resolve any problems or complaints, but we cannot finance mediation or outside parties. No one is under any obligation to stay and a fair exit may be the best solution.
Whistleblowing is vital and no one should feel inhibited from declaring a concerning matter, as long as it is truthful and wherever possible, backed up with evidence. Approach Vanessa Ross Russell 07766 464229 in the first instance or or one of the members of the LCKG management committee team: Jaqui Fruin, Neil Ross Russell (Kelly Sarjeant, Michael Leneghan).
