= AvoinGLAM Friendly Space Policy =
This is a code of conduct for AvoinGLAM events and online spaces. (v 0.1 29 April 2024)

== Principles ==
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community, we are committed to making participation in AvoinGLAM projects a respectful and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sex, sexual orientation, disability, neuroatypicality, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, political affiliation, or religion.

Skills and status make no difference to the right to be respected and the obligation to respect others.

== Unacceptable behaviour ==
Harassment and other types of inappropriate behaviour are unacceptable in all public and private spaces. Examples include but are not limited to:

* Personal attacks, violence, threats of violence, threats of legal action, or deliberate intimidation.
* Offensive, derogatory, or discriminatory comments.
* Gratuitous or off-topic use of sexual language or imagery.
* Inappropriate or unwanted attention, touching, or physical contact (sexual or otherwise).
* Inappropriate or unwanted public or private communication, following, or any form of stalking.
* Unwanted photography or recording.
* Disclosure of a person's identity or other private information without their consent. Disclosure of some identifying information is not consent to disclose other identifying information.
* Inappropriate or unwanted publication of private communication. Publishing or reporting private communication or personally identifying information for the purposes of reporting harassment (as explained here) and/or in the case of whistleblowing, is acceptable.
* Harming the discussion or community with methods such as sustained disruption, interruption, or blocking of community collaboration (i.e. trolling).
* Discrimination, particularly against marginalised and otherwise underrepresented groups. Targeted outreach to such groups is allowed and encouraged.
* Using the code of conduct system for purposes other than reporting genuine violations of the code of conduct (e.g., retaliating against a reporter or victim by filing a report claiming their response was harassment).

== Report a problem ==
{{Wiki Loves Living Heritage/Alert|text=<p align=left>In case of threats of harm and other urgent situations, notify the relevant authorities first (if possible) and the AvoinGLAM Safety Team via [mailto:safety@avoinglam.fi safety@avoinglam.fi].</p>}}

People who experience or observe unacceptable behaviour are encouraged to follow any of these steps:

# Ask the person who is behaving unacceptably to stop. Make them aware of this Code of Conduct.
# At an event, report the problem to the event organisers, or a designated contact.

Reports can be as short as a notification with a link, but more information will help us understand what is happening. You can include:

* Your contact information, if you want to identify yourself.
* Your account of the incident:
** Where and when it happened.
** A description of the unacceptable behaviour.
** Who was involved and who saw it happen.
** Whether the incident is ongoing.
* Any additional information that will help us fully understand the problem, such as previous incidents or special circumstances.
* Links to public records of the incident, if any.
* Screenshots showing what exactly happened.

Reports are processed confidentially.
