Code of Conduct

Last Updated: 24/09/25

The club offers a safe space where attendees may enjoy the social and mental benefits of playing games. No attendee should be subject to harm (physical or mental). Compliance with this code of conduct is a requirement of Club Membership. 

No member shall be discriminated against on grounds of gender, sexual orientation, ethnic group, colour, religion, physical or mental status, political beliefs or social class or anything else a reasonable person would find unjust.

All club members shall be well-mannered, courteous and considerate to: 

● Other Club Members 

● Members of other clubs and organisations 

● Employees and volunteers of partner and supplier organisations 

● Members of the public 

This code of conduct applies whenever a club member is: 

● Attending any club organised event 

● Representing the club at any other organised event 

● Working on behalf of the club in any capacity 

● Wearing any club branded clothing or otherwise identifiable as a club member 

Club members shall follow: 

● the Statutory and Common Law of the United Kingdom and all Health and Safety laws and regulations applicable to the UK; 

● the rules of the club as stated in its Articles, Constitution, policies or in other communications made by the board. 

● direction from board members or officers that may be considered reasonable to protect club members and others from harm.

Club members have an obligation to: 

● Use the relevant safeguarding complaints process to report any instances of 

○ violation of this code of conduct

○ perceived harm, or potential for harm 

All complaints will be investigated on their merits. Upheld complaints may result in sanctions, ultimately including expulsion from the Club. Club Members are reminded that not everyone has the same requirements in order to feel safe in the environment we provide. For example, Children, although admitted only under adult supervision, may require further moderation to language and behaviour. The same may be true of other adults. You are encouraged to be flexible and considerate of reasonable requests to moderate language and behaviour to suit the groups in which you engage.
