Committee members are expected to adhere to strict confidentiality, professionalism, and respectful communication standards at all times.

Engagement with Users

We aim to cultivate genuine, respectful, and inclusive interactions online.

Authenticity Matters:

We value authentic engagement and will not interact with accounts that appear to be fake, impersonating others, or displaying suspicious behaviour.

Respectful Community:

Content or comments that are abusive, defamatory, or otherwise harmful may be removed, and users posting such content may be blocked or reported.
