SBNS Code of Conduct
In April 2024 the SBNS Launched its Code of Conduct for SBNS Meetings - The Three Principles of Prevention - ST.O.P
1. STay Professional
Don’t use your status to influence/implicitly coerce the vulnerable or more junior
Do not use conferences/educational events as opportunities to seek sexual gratification
Consider your conduct around/after SBNS events, remembering that you represent our society and its values, for example wearing societal identification in public venues
Consider how it may be interpreted if you are photographed/witnessed when you are on study/professional leave
Remember, alcohol is the most common date rape drug – be safe; don’t misuse it
2. Open Your Eyes
Are you blind to your own inappropriate actions?
Are you ignoring poor behaviour in others?
3. Protect Each Other
“Check in” - If you see inappropriate e.g. creepy/sleazy behaviour, and you feel able to do so, ask the “recipient” if they are OK
“Call it out” - If you see inappropriate e.g. creepy/sleazy behaviour, and you feel able to do so, inform the “perpetrator” they are being
e.g. creepy/sleazy, e.g. if it is a friend of yours or someone you know
