Central London Humanists (CLH) respectfully requests all members, supporters, and anyone who joins our activities, programmes, and fora online and offline, to please follow this code of conduct.

1. Use English when communicating with others in CLH.

2. Treat others with empathy, politeness, and respect, in line with humanist values.

3. Do not engage in:

   • personally-directed insults or derogatory remarks;
   • aggressive, prejudiced, bigoted, racist, discriminatory, disruptive, belittling, or otherwise abusive behaviour;
   • the use of sexualised language or sharing of sexualised imagery, and unwanted sexual attention or advances;
   • public or private harassment;
   • trolling — including repetitive behaviour intended to provoke a reaction;
   • (self) promotion, or sales marketing for events, books, and other products that are not directly related to humanism, or to CLH and its partners;
   • any behaviour that could reasonably be seen as bringing CLH into disrepute.

4. Do, in the humanist spirit of freedom of thought and enquiry:

   • come prepared to hear other people’s views
   • engage with divergent views
   • offer scrutiny and criticism of ideas
   • accept constructive feedback gracefully

5. Anyone under the age of 18 may not attend CLH events without an accompanying adult who will take responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of the younger individual.
