1. Purpose

This Code of Conduct exists to ensure a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all participants.

2. Expected Behaviour

All participants agree to:

• Treat others with respect at all times
• Communicate honestly and constructively
• Support other participants without judgement

This is not a competition. Ego has no place here.

3. Safety First

Participants must:

• Act responsibly at all times
• Immediately report injury, illness, or safety concerns
• Modify or stop activity if they feel unwell or unsafe

Ignoring physical or mental warning signs is not strength — it's recklessness.

• No alcohol or recreational drugs are permitted for the duration of the event
• Participants under the influence will be removed immediately
• This rule is non-negotiable

5. Mental Health & Wellbeing

This event addresses sensitive themes around fatherhood, mental health, and separation. Participants should:

• Engage with vulnerability and openness
• Not share others' stories beyond the event without consent
• Seek support from organisers if they are struggling

6. Consequences

Breach of this Code may result in immediate removal from the event without refund.
