Procedures for managing allegations of misconduct
The RSCDS is serious about creating and operating in safe spaces, where everyone is free to enjoy Scottish…
Safer Spaces We love Scottish dancing and music. Every dancer, of every level of experience, should feel absolutely comfortable and safe at any of our events. Harassment or bullying won’t be tolerated and by attending any of our events in any capacity (whether you are a volunteer for the RSCDS Management Board or Committees, a well-known teacher, a musician or a first time dancer) you agree to treat all participants with care and respect and to abide by our code of conduct. We want every person to feel comfortable at any of our events and we hope that this document plays a role in fostering a safe and comfortable place to dance. We believe that we have one of the safest communities in the world but we don’t know everyone and, in a world-wide community, like the RSCDS, it’s helpful to have a clear shared understanding of our behaviour expectations. The code of conduct provides us all with that clarity.
However you choose to take part, you’ll be joining a welcoming, worldwide community — keeping Scottish country dancing vibrant, shared and enjoyed for generations to come.
