Code of conduct for Brodies events
At Brodies, we are committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming and respectful environment for everyone attending our events, including our clients, colleagues, guests and event partners.
We ask that all attendees treat Brodies colleagues, guests and venue staff with dignity and respect. We do not tolerate improper conduct or unacceptable behaviour.
This includes:
- verbal abuse or use of inappropriate language;
- offensive behaviour, unlawful discrimination, harassment or sexual harassment including racist or sexist language, derogatory comments, deliberate intimidation or unwanted physical contact;
- excessive drunkenness;
- the use of illegal drugs; and
- violence, including fighting and aggressive behaviour.
If you drink alcohol, please do so responsibly. Please make arrangements in advance to ensure you can get home safely, and do not drink and drive.
You should respect the confidentiality of discussions and materials shared during events, and should not disclose sensitive information without authorisation.
All visitors to Brodies offices and events are expected to follow all relevant health and safety guidelines and to ensure that their behaviour / actions do not compromise the safety or well-being of others.
Breach of this code
If you are made aware that your behaviour is inappropriate, we expect that you address this immediately and behave appropriately thereafter.
In some circumstances, we may ask attendees to leave an event and we may ban attendees from future events.
If appropriate, we may report matters to any organisation you represent, the police, regulatory bodies or other relevant authorities.
If you consider that you have been subject to inappropriate behaviour, we ask that you make your Brodies contact (or if this is not possible or appropriate in the circumstances, another representative of Brodies) aware of this as soon as possible, or you can contact us via events@brodies.com
