Bay Tales Ltd strives to be a welcoming, inclusive and safe environment where people of all backgrounds are respected.  This encompasses (and is not restricted to) members of any sexual orientation, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, socio-economic class, religious belief, and mental and physical abilities. We work alongside people from a wide range of life experiences and want everyone to feel valued and appreciated. Everyone has a role to play in creating an inclusive culture and we set out the following expectations with respect to events and activities organised by Bay Tales.

We value inclusivity, appreciate difference, welcome learning from others, and consider people equal without prejudice or favour. We will work to the best of our ability to ensure everybody is treated according to these beliefs and we will not tolerate any behaviour that does not answer to these values, including bullying or harassment in any form. Our aim is always to promote events where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and should be able to attend safely, free of harassment, intimidation and anti-social or abusive behaviour.

Harassment includes, but is not limited to – stalking, verbal or physical intimidation, offensive verbal comments, physical assault, harassing or non-consensual photography or recording, inappropriate/unwanted physical contact or unwelcome attention.

In the event of behaviour that we consider harassing or abusive, or goes against this policy, we reserve the right to take any action we deem necessary and appropriate, including eviction from the event and reporting the matter to the relevant authorities.
