1. I understand that behaviour deemed to be disruptive by the facilitator will not be tolerated and may lead to my being expelled from the group. I expect that in the first instance I will be asked to stop but if I continue after this I will be asked to leave. In the case of major breaches of conduct I may be asked to leave immediately. If this happens repeatedly, I understand that I may not be invited into future groups.
2. I acknowledge and understand that confidentiality is important within the group. I will not repeat any information about others that I hear in the group to any third party. I will not record or attempt to record any part of the meeting. I will not gossip about other current or former group members.
3. I expect that my confidentiality will also be respected, except for in any case where significant harm may be caused by the facilitator failing to disclose something on my behalf. I understand that the facilitator in such a case would first attempt to talk to me about this before making a disclosure, unless circumstances will not allow this. 4. I understand and accept that no discrimination against others will be tolerated. I understand that Beyond Reflections as an organisation values diversity. I will not instigate or participate in excluding or discounting any group member and will not judge others based on their appearance or the way in which they are choosing to, or not to, transition.
5. I understand that everyone is welcome to join any conversation in the room as nobody is excluded.
6. I understand that we’re all here to build each other up and not knock each other back down, so we are expected to be kind and respectful to others.
7. I understand that this is a social space only, and if I wish to discuss trans matters in detail, I will speak with the Beyond Reflections office staff.
8. I understand that I must not turn up under the influence of alcohol or other substances, and that if I do, I will be asked to leave.
9. I understand that if I have substance abuse issues, I will speak with the office staff before attending a group.
10. I accept responsibility for my own actions.
