Anti-Bullying Policy

The Society for Creative Anachronism is organized and overseen by a Board of Directors who ensure that the SCA is a fair and equitable place. Remember that we are a family-friendly and inclusive organization. Please know, Newcomers, that we already love you and are excited to have you be a part of our family!

The SCA prohibits harassment and bullying of all individuals and groups.

Harassment and bullying includes, but is not limited to the following:

• Offensive or lewd verbal comments directed to an individual;
• The display of explicit images (drawn or photographic) depicting an individual in an inappropriate manner;
• Photographing or recording individuals inappropriately to abuse or harass the individual;
• Inappropriate physical contact; unwelcome sexual attention; or retaliation for reporting harassment and/or bullying.

Participants violating these rules are subject to appropriate sanctions. If an individual feels subjected to harassment, bullying or retaliation, they should contact a seneschal, President of the SCA, or the Kingdom’s Board Ombudsman. If a participant of the SCA becomes aware that someone is being harassed or bullied, they have a responsibility pursuant to the SCA Code of Conduct to come forward and report this behavior to a seneschal, President of the SCA or Kingdom’s Board Ombudsman.
