Kainos Academy code of conduct

Kainos Academy stands for inclusion and diversity. We believe that every single person has the right to enjoy a safe and welcoming environment. 

Harassment includes but is not limited to: offensive verbal or written comments related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. 

If what you’re doing is making someone feel uncomfortable, that counts as harassment and is enough reason to stop doing it. 

Sponsors, judges, mentors, volunteers, organisers, Kainos staff and anyone else taking part in the event are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. 

Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. Failure to do so will result in further consequences, as seen reasonable and appropriate. 

If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, Kainos may take any action Kainos deems appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event with no eligibility for reimbursement of any type. 

 

Code of conduct

CodeCamp 2024 will be delivered in-person. Participants must abide by the code of conduct at all times. If a participant does not abide by the code of conduct, Kainos may take any action Kainos deems appropriate, including warning the offender, or expulsion from the event with no eligibility for reimbursement of any type. 

1. Appropriate behaviour is expected at all times. 
2. Please be on time – anyone who attempts to enter later than 5 minutes after the start time will not be admitted. 
3. You must wear suitable clothing at all times. Clothing must not contain sexualised or offensive language or images. 
4. You should not use or display sexualised or offensive language, images, activities, or other material during the event.

6. If you receive any offensive, sexualised or otherwise inappropriate messages, or are subject to any harassment, please report them to the CodeCamp mentor immediately.
