Code of Conduct

Dundee Mountain Club is fully committed to safeguarding its members, and providing a welcoming experience for all. Everyone, both members and non-members, should be considerate of others at all times, whether on official meets, at social events, or during any other activity.

Club members come from a wide variety of backgrounds and have different experiences, so please bear this in mind and ensure everyone feels welcome. For instance, behaviour that is acceptable amongst a close group of friends may cause discomfort to people new to the Club.

Members are encouraged to be open with each other at all times. If you see or experience inappropriate behaviour, try to resolve it immediately if you feel able to. Many incidences can hopefully be dealt with swiftly and amicably. If this is not possible, or you wish to make an official complaint, please contact any member of the committee as listed on the DMC website. Please also contact any committee member if you have any concerns about the Club in general.

The Code of Conduct is founded on principles of mutual respect, safety, environmental stewardship, and the shared enjoyment of outdoor activities. The club recognises the diversity of views, interests, backgrounds and abilities.

By participating in Club activities, all members and their guests and prospective members agree to uphold the Code and promote a positive, inclusive community.
