Harassment

The Royal Astronomical Society Fellows and staff value the participation of everyone at our conferences and want all attendees to have an enjoyable experience. Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees and staff.

Any RAS meeting/event (including those sponsored by the RAS) will be a discrimination and harassment-free environment for everyone. Discrimination on the basis of, for example, sex, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion, belief, disability, being pregnant or having a child, age, physical appearance and level of intellectual/professional achievement will not be tolerated.

The Society does not tolerate harassment of attendees, staff or Fellows in any form. Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race or religion; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation, stalking or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

All communication (given by lecturers, organisers and attendees) should be appropriate for a professional audience. Sexual language, sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes and imagery is not appropriate for any event.

If you feel harassed or are privy to, or observe, any form of bullying or harassment during NAM2017 and you wish to report it, anonymously or otherwise, you can call our harassment hotline 07802 877700 24 hours a day, for the full duration of NAM2017.

It is up to you what you wish for us to do with the information given during calls. We can proceed with a formal complaint, as per the RAS Code of Conduct, an informal complaint, in which RAS Officers may speak informally to those involved, or simply be a listening ear for you during NAM2017.
