Facts Code of conduct, good to consider

It is important to have a clearly formulated code of conduct – it is something to refer to in situations of cyber hate.

It will be best if you develop your code of conduct as a group, so that it becomes a living document and everyone feels represented and included in it. 

However, it is important to be conscious of the fact that your group might not be representative of different perspectives and needs. This means that you may need to evaluate and update your code of conduct every now and then.

Try to be as inclusive as possible based on all of the grounds of discrimination and other perspectives on marginalization.
