The following Code of Conduct applies to all participants in any conference, workshop, seminar, retreat, webinar, or other event or service provided (“Event”), produced or co-produced by Raising Kids for Good (RKFG).
Raising Kids for Good is committed to providing a safe environment in which faculty members, attendees, staff, and participants can freely interact in positive ways. To accomplish this goal, we seek participants who have exhibited high moral standards.
We require all participants to behave in a manner that is “above reproach”, especially (but not exclusively) when they are at an Event, whenever they are in the presence of other Event attendees (e.g., on shuttles), and in any follow-up exchanges that may occur after the Event.
Please note that any minors present must be accompanied by an adult.
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
- Verbal, electronic, or physical conduct of a sexual, intimidating, discriminatory, or abusive nature, including racial and other forms of discrimination, sexual advances, propositions, requests, or comments (or anything that could reasonably be construed as such).
- Offering a participant any kind of benefit in exchange for sexual favors, or threatening any kind of detriment for a participant’s failure to engage in sexual activity.
- Visual conduct of a sexual nature, such as making sexual gestures, or displaying sexually suggestive objects, pictures, or cartoons.
- Sending sexually related text messages, emails, photos, videos, or social media messages.
- Comments (positive or negative) about an individual’s body.
- Suggestive contact, such as inappropriate touching, or impeding or blocking movement.
- Asking questions about an individual’s sex life.
- Initiating or participating in games that include discussions about sex or intimate parts of the body.
