Anti Discrimination Policy

At The Leicester Hackspace, we do not as an organisation tolerate discrimination.

Leicester Hackspace intends to provide everyone a harassment-free environment, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion

Harassment includes (but isn’t limited to) offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, physical appearance, body size, mental health, race, religion; deliberate intimidation; stalking; following; inappropriate physical contact; unwelcome sexual attention; and inappropriate or non-consensual photography or recording; sustained disruption of events; or any action that makes another member uncomfortable.

Anyone asked to stop any harassing behaviour, by anyone, is expected to do so immediately.

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY, INCLUDE EVERYONE, COLLABORATE.

This means no:

Please do not think that because it was “just a joke”, or, “people are being too sensitive” that this is acceptable. From a practical point of view there are laws we need to follow. You might like to look at some government advice on the subject.

Please actively include everyone in projects, events and knowledge-sharing regardless of their skills, background or individual differences.

If you believe you or anyone else are being harassed, then please do not allow it to happen. If you can, challenge the behaviour, if you are unable to, or you find it continues regardless, then please report the person and their behaviour to The Directors directly or by following our Complaints Process.
