BARDO
Code of Conduct

Last updated: August 2026

​

At BARDO Inclusive, we believe that growth is a lived, evolving practice — not just a policy, training or performance. This Code of Conduct outlines the behaviours, values, and commitments we expect from anyone engaging with our spaces — whether through learning, collaborating, coaching, or contributing.

​

We believe that brave spaces are co-created — and that collective growth starts with personal responsibility.

1. Our Shared Commitments

We strive to:

  • Take ownership of our energy, intentions, and behaviours

  • Engage in continuous growth, reflection, and renewal

  • Unlearn old patterns and relearn new ways of relating

  • Cultivate humility, curiosity, and the courage to get things wrong

  • Honour the dignity, humanity, and lived experience of every individual

 

We don’t aim for perfection — we aim for progress, repair, and realness.

2. Expected Behaviour

We ask everyone in our community to:

  • Listen with openness and the intention to understand

  • Speak with integrity and respect for difference

  • Stay conscious of power, privilege, and positionality

  • Acknowledge emotional labour and avoid extraction

  • Respect neurodivergent communication and energy styles

  • Embrace feedback and moments of discomfort as part of growth

  • Prioritise care, consent, and co-creation in all interactions

3. Unacceptable Behaviour

We will not tolerate:

  • Discrimination, harassment, or exclusion based on any protected characteristic or identity

  • Dismissal of lived experience or tone policing

  • Microaggressions, belittling, or dehumanising behaviour

  • Unsolicited advice, especially in sensitive discussions

  • Sharing or using others' words or experiences without consent

  • Disruptive or draining behaviours that compromise group safety

 

However, we also recognise that everyone needs the room and safety to grow, so we provide that through:

  • No moralising or telling people what to think

  • No victim complexes or binary thinking about individuals - we are all complex, intersectional and diverse beings worthy of love.

  • Create space to help all of us grow and develop, not stagnate in fixed mindsets or being ghosted.

4. Responsibility & Repair

We are all responsible for the spaces we co-create. If harm occurs, we commit to:

  • Listening with compassion and without defensiveness

  • Taking accountability for our impact

  • Engaging in repair and reflection where possible

  • Supporting all parties with care and clarity

  • No ghosting, but helping to support each other safely. 

 

If you experience or witness behaviour that breaches this code, you can speak to the session facilitator or contact us in confidence:

Email: georgina@bardo.co.uk 
Subject: Code of Conduct Concern

​

We will take all concerns seriously and act in alignment with our values.

5. Consequences

Breaches of this Code may result in:

  • A facilitated conversation

  • Removal from an event, course, client, or space

  • An unlearning and relearning experience

  • Termination of collaboration or service

  • Referral to safeguarding or legal authorities if necessary

 

All decisions will prioritise psychological safety, transparency, and learning.

6. Living the Work

Growth and inclusion are not a checklist.

It is a practice, a promise, and a process.

​

This Code of Conduct is reviewed regularly and shaped by our evolving community and context.

​

We thank you for bringing your energy, reflection, and commitment to this shared journey.

 

Let’s evolve together.
