Code of Conduct

We value the participation of every member of our community and want to ensure that every contributor has an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, everyone who participates in the Turing Way project is expected to show respect and courtesy to other community members at all times.

The Turing Way project leaders, Kirstie Whitaker and Malvika Sharan, are dedicated to a welcoming and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment by and/or of members of our community in any form.

We are particularly motivated to support new and/or anxious collaborators, people who are looking to learn and develop their skills, and anyone who has experienced discrimination in the past.

To make clear what is expected, we ask all members of the community to conform to the following Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct document has been written in 4 parts: Overview, Details, Reporting and Enforcement.

The last part acknowledges all sources that this Code of Conduct has been built upon.

This Code of Conduct applies to all spaces managed by the Turing Way project including, but not limited to, in-person focus groups and workshops, and communications online via GitHub.

Contact for Reporting

The co-lead-investigators of The Turing Way - Dr. Kirstie Whitaker (kwhitaker@turing.ac.uk) and Dr. Malvika Sharan (msharan@turing.ac.uk) - are responsible for enforcing the Code of Conduct.

If you prefer not to contact the project leads, you may also contact Anna Krystalli, who is our ombudsperson.

Together they form the current Code of Conduct committee.
