Community Codes of Conduct, Explained Simply

Many clubs, organisations, and communities maintain a code of conduct outlining expected behaviour and how concerns can be raised if ever needed. It applies no matter how someone decides to move forward from here. This is worth remembering on days when everything else feels uncertain. It remains true at every stage of what can be a difficult process.

Familiarising yourself with these codes, where they exist, can help clarify what support and options are available within that particular community. This is a right worth knowing about, whether or not it is used. It reflects genuine care for the person navigating the process. This is worth remembering, whatever stage of the process someone is at.

1800RESPECT is on 1800 737 732, and Lifeline is on 13 11 14, both available any hour to talk this through. Support is there for exactly as long as you happen to need it. Nobody expects you to have all the answers before you call. You do not have to work through this entirely on your own.
