The Society of Genealogists is committed to providing welcoming, respectful and constructive events for everyone who attends.
We recognise that participants bring different experiences, perspectives and opinions, and we welcome appropriate discussion and debate. To ensure our events remain enjoyable and useful for everyone, we ask all participants to:
The event host is responsible for the effective running of the session and may intervene where a participant’s behaviour is disruptive or is affecting the experience of others.
Where necessary, the host may ask a participant to stop a particular behaviour, mute or restrict their participation, or remove them from the event. Repeated or serious breaches of this Code of Conduct may result in restrictions on attendance at future Society events.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping to make Society of Genealogists events welcoming, engaging and worthwhile.
