If you feel you have experienced any harassment or discrimination or would like to report any concerns, the Conference Chairs are the persons you should speak to first. You can also send a confidential email to idiv-conference@idiv.de to report a concern.
When should you speak up?
- Facing unacceptable abusive, bullying or intimidating behavior, e.g discrimination against age, hierarchical level, sex, disability, sexual orientation, race, colour, ethnic origin, religion or political belief.
- Facing health & safety risks: Persons engaging in behavior that might be dangerous to themselves or others. This includes the use of drugs or abuse of alcohol.
How to deal with unacceptable behavior?
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. In general, any measures depend on the severity of a certain behavior. Urgent matters will immediately be discussed and an appropriate action recommended or taken. Especially behaviors that might be dangerous to others are not tolerated and the person will be banned from the venue.
