CEWT Code of Conduct


CEWT is a peer workshop. It is run for the benefit and enjoyment of its participants and we believe that we’ll all get the most from it if everyone actively participates.

We have a code of conduct in order to create an environment in which participants feel safe to:

  • Speak
  • Question
  • Challenge
  • Disagree
  • Have fun!

Our code of conduct is based on the Conference Code of Conduct and used under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.

Code of Conduct

All participants at our workshop are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organisers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

The Quick Version

Our workshop is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices.

We do not tolerate harassment of workshop participants in any form.

Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any workshop venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Workshop participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the workshop without a refund at the discretion of the workshop organisers.

The Less Quick Version

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the workshop organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the workshop.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of workshop staff immediately.

Workshop staff will be happy to assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the workshop. We value your participation.

We expect participants to follow these rules at workshop and workshop venues and workshop-related social events.
