Ground rules

Our ground rules are about respecting ourselves and others.

YouthPride is used by a variety of young people, from 14-19years and senior helpers 19-21years who may differ in, gender, sexuality, ethnic origin, physical or mental ability or be a member of a particular community. These differences deserve our respect and acknowledgement.

• No one should experience physical, verbal, racial or sexual abuse.
• Physical expressions of support are not always appropriate or welcome; people differ in what they consider to be their space.
• Language can both offend and exclude people either through its content or the way it is used.
• Personal information may not be disclosed without consent- so knowledge of someone’ sexuality is strictly confidential.

To put equal opportunity in practice let’s ensure YouthPride is a welcoming place for everyone who uses, visits or works where we meet.
