The CSC has clear rules for its social media groups which outline the behaviour and procedures expected from Commonwealth Scholars and Alumni to adhere to as members. Kindly read the rules below:
• This group is a safe space for its members, where anyone can relax and express themselves, without fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on account of their ethnicity, sexual orientations, gender identity or expression, cultural background, religious affiliation, age, or physical or mental ability. All members should follow the CSC Code of Conduct for Alumni, at https://cscuk.fcdo.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Code-of-Conduct-for-Alumni.pdf.
• Oppressive language and behaviour are NOT welcome within the group. Members should avoid making negative comments that reference specific individuals either within or outside the group. If you believe a post is inappropriate and would like to inform someone, we strongly encourage you to first notify [Facebook/LinkedIn].
• If a comment has offended you and you feel strongly that it should be taken down, you should politely ask the member to take their comment down. If they do not respond in a timely way, you should message the Group Manager directly with your request.
• You should aim to assume that other members have good intentions. Make sure that you read posts carefully to avoid unnecessary confusion, and ask other members to elaborate if the meaning is unclear. If you are the author of a post and others are reacting negatively, consider if there is a better way of making your point.
