As organizers of the RedLHC workshop, we are committed to making this conference productive and enjoyable for everyone. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive environment in which all attendees feel welcome and are treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their personal attributes, including but not limited to: age, career stage or path, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, medical condition, nationality, physical appearance, political affiliation, pregnancy, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
We are dedicated to providing an environment free from discrimination, bullying, harassment, or victimisation, and to fostering a culture of diversity in which everyone is valued for their contributions and individuality. We expect all conference participants to treat one another with kindness and respect. Verbal, non-verbal, and/or physical harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, verbal or physical abuse, offensive comments, inappropriate or unwanted physical contact, sexual attention or innuendo, deliberate intimidation, stalking, retaliation, or taking photographs or videos of an individual without their consent.
All communication, whether oral or written, should be appropriate for a professional audience that includes people from a wide range of backgrounds. Sexist, racist, or otherwise exclusionary language, comments, images, music, or jokes are not appropriate at any time. Respect for others should be maintained at all times. This is particularly important for senior personnel, as less experienced researchers may feel reluctant to express objections or discomfort regarding unwelcome or disrespectful behaviour.
We encourage any attendee who experiences or witnesses inappropriate behaviour or harassment to report it to the conference organizers, either in person or via email.
Any concerns raised will be treated as confidentially as possible.
