CODE OF CONDUCT

Look after each other.

ATIM brings together people who keep online spaces safe, so we hold our own space to the same standard. This code applies to every session, chat and social post connected to our gathering and community.

THE ESSENTIALS

Our code

What’s shared here stays here

We follow the Chatham House Rule. Use what you learn, but don't identify who said it, or their employer or community, without their consent. Sharing your own story is always optional, and sensitive disclosures stay in the room. Organisers may share general themes, never attributed comments without explicit permission.

Ask before you capture

Sessions are usually recorded so people can watch on demand. Beyond that, no screenshots, recordings or attributed quotes without permission. Speakers may take part under a pseudonym, ask for privacy adjustments, and withdraw consent at any time.

No harassment, hate or harm

Discrimination and hate speech have no place here. Neither do intimidation, stalking, unwelcome attention, graphic imagery, sustained disruption, or any behaviour that seeks to dominate or derail. Potentially defamatory content will be removed.

Disagree with care

Spirited debate is welcome and different perspectives make ATIM better. Be curious, challenge ideas not people, with civility and respect. ATIM is a signatory to the Diversity Charter.

Look after yourself

We give notice before sessions on sensitive topics, and you can step out of anything, any time. Public chat on the event platform is moderated. If something brings things up for you, the support services below can help.

Human first, always

Share your own experience and expertise. We don't endorse AI in presented content, but we don't ban it outright. If AI meaningfully shaped your material, we expect you to disclose this. Presenting AI output as lived experience is a breach of this code.

Something not right? Tell us.

You can report a concern to the ATIM team, anonymously if you prefer. We take every report seriously and act quickly, from a warning through to removal from the event.

Need support?

Some ATIM sessions deal with difficult material. If something brings things up for you, you don’t have to face it alone.
