HARASSMENT

Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated at St Martins. Anyone who feels belittled, threatened or uncomfortable at any time (or witnesses such behaviour) should speak to me or Kim, or to the President or Secretary or other member of the committee. There is a line between playful banter and harassment which must be respected. Harassment of another member could occur in a number of situations, for example:

  • Making comments about a person’s attire or appearance.
  • Criticising another person’s playing or actions in front of other people.
  • Swearing should be avoided at all times. 
  • Make sure jokes are in good taste.
  • Sending emails with criticism of another person are likely to constitute harassment. Keep emails short and to the point and only copy in to another person if it is absolutely necessary. A face to face discussion is preferable and if the subject is contentious then bring it up with the President or Secretary or another member of the club that you trust. 

 If you have any concerns please speak to Lucy, Colin or a member of the Committee.
