Code of Conduct

This Code of Conduct is a framework for the identification and resolution of issues concerning the conduct of members of Bloom-ED. It does not address all possible situations that may arise in Bloom-ED, but outlines guiding principles of acceptable behaviours which members must abide by. The Code of Conduct applies to all volunteers, team members and to all individuals who enter into particular relationships with Bloom-ED for a specified reason, such as a collaborator. This does not apply to the allies shown on Bloom-ED’s website.

I will:

Be committed to embracing diversity and treating everyone with respect, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, language, religion, ability, or political identity
Strive to ensure that relationships and sexuality education is nationally consistent, evidence-informed, inclusive, accessible, relevant and affirming to all people and communities
Advocate for policies, practices, organisations and systems that promote and advance sexual health, reproductive rights, gender equity and equality, and social justice for all people and communities
Provide a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment to fellow team members, including when resolving issues between team members
Keep all personal information confidential that have been shared in online group meetings or in the team chat
Keep confidential all passwords and account information that I am provided that relate to Bloom-ED
Prioritise informed consent to allow for all people to have the information they need to make informed decisions
Conduct myself in a manner that is consistent with the values of Bloom-ED
Hold myself accountable and be transparent with other members
Ensure that my behaviour and language, even when not conducting Bloom-ED related matters, comply with Australian legislation and Bloom-ED Code of Conduct
Proactively disclose in writing any conflicts of interest you have, or may be perceived to have, as soon as you become aware of it. Management of this conflict of interest may include abstaining from involvement in Bloom-ED work related to the conflict of interest.
